This well-worn copy of “Shades of Black: Diversity in African-American Identity” by William E. Cross bears the marks of a book that has been thoroughly studied and discussed. Published in 1991, it emerged as a seminal work in the exploration of the multifaceted nature of African-American identity. Cross, a renowned scholar in the field of Black psychology, challenged the notion of a monolithic Black experience and delved into the complexities and nuances that shape the diverse identities within the African-American community. Through his Nigrescence theory, he examined the stages of racial identity development, shedding light on the dynamic and ever-evolving process of self-definition. This copy’s annotations and highlights offer a glimpse into the intellectual discourse it has sparked, making it a valuable artifact for scholars and collectors interested in the evolution of racial identity studies.
