Writer Thomas Chatterton Williams joins the
Prospect Interview this week to talk about his curious approach to race in America. His new memoir,
Self Portrait in Black and White, explores his own background as a mixed-race child of a black father and white mother growing up in New Jersey. He talks to our Arts and Books editor Sameer Rahim about why he sometimes calls himself “ex-Black”, how he feels about calls for race reparations, and whether he really thinks, in divided political times, one might really transcend race.
