CHAPTER

Reflections on Race and Identity Abroad

This chapter explores the transformative experience of living in France and its effect on understanding American racial discourse. The speaker examines the complexities of identity as a mixed-race individual, challenging rigid racial classifications and advocating for a future beyond such limitations. By contrasting their experiences with those of figures like James Baldwin and Ta-Nehisi Coates, the chapter underscores the importance of transcending obsession with racial categorization for a more integrated society.
