I thought this writing from Cherene Sherrard-Johnson was very powerful because she doesn;t just discuss passing, but also takes a further look into the Harlem Renaissance and how it played such a large role in a narrative like Passing. Without understanding the Harlem Renaissance, it's extremely difficult to understand Passing as a whole. When reading through this writing by Sherrard-Johnson I noticed that she gave a lot of rich history of the 20th century and what was going through individuals heads at the time. After reading this I was able to better understand Larsen's point of view as an African American and a woman. I like how it also explains further into the definition of Mulatto and how that word has disappeared over time. Overall I feel this writing will better support my research on Passing and the impact it had in both the 20th and 21st century, making it a masterpiece and a form of hope to many African American woman both in the past and forever.

Crossing Black : Mixed-Race Identity in Modern American Fiction and Culture

I thought this source was actually really powerful because instead of looking deeper into passing, it instead studies the racial crossings and blurring racial boundaries in a much more present day tense. Proving that Passing is still something that has been prevalent in many africans Americans lives following the Renaissance era. It uses many great examples and figures to portray the hardships that many african americans have had to go through over a countless amount of years. Discussing passing in pop culture with icons like Mariah Carey and Halle Berry. In my opinion it's much easier to understand racial crossing when looking at present day musicians and actors because it's much easier for me to relate to it. Considering there are so many biracial figures in the industry, many of them are viewed as black while others are viewed as white and this plays a significant role in their careers and social status. Such as an actor like Cameron Diaz who is both white and black being constantly looked at as white woman, which can ultimately lead to her getting a job over a fully black woman.

In this writing by Gabrielle McIntire I find it really interesting how she looks further into not only racial injustice. But how an individual knows how to belong to a race. Or how a race can bind communities and ban it's outlaws. McIntire also exemplifies the stress lines for African Americans in the 20th and 21st century that weren't really touched on by other writers during this period. Showing how courageous she was as a writer and what point she was trying to get across to her audience. In this passage it's important to understand that Larsen divided this book into three different parts which show, tell, and perform her warnings against racial designations. Though Passing is the main point of this story, in reality she somewhat wishes it wasn't a thing at all because it divides her people more than anything. This story is meant to bring people together and tear down the racial barriers between both black and whites.

I really enjoyed this writing from Maragaret Gillespie because she doesn't specifically talk about Nella Larsen;s passing, but also compares it to other literature of it's time. In a period like the Harlem renaissance it's really important to understand that women of color had both similar and indifferent views on race whether it was positive or negative. Larsen never really rose to fame because of accusations of plagiarism and ended up resorting to her prior profession of nursing. Now Larsen's literature is viewed in a much different perspective. Giving inspiration to people of color and breaking multiple boundaries that aren't usually stepped on in literature. Passing was written in a time when individuals didn't actually believe that women could evolve, when in reality it was just a social construct that was holding them back. Racial lines were being split and terms such as "mulatto" were pretty much removed as a whole. Gillespie also explains how Larsen's novel increased female autonomy and feminization of the current working environment which ultimately made women feel much more comfortable in their occupations and everyday lives. Though racism is still prevalent today, this novel was a step in the right direction for both african americans and women as a whole.
