Passing and Hair

Edit

From: d_kakong
Posted: June 17, 1999

"Because I'm white too, and if I have to be coloured then I want to die...I want to have a chance in life. I don't want to come through back doors, or feel lower for other people, or apologize for my mother's colour...she can't help her colour, but I can, and I will" (Sarah Jane in Imitation of Life).

Imitation of Life is a story of Sarah Jane, the white-looking daughter of black Addie Johnson. Sarah Jane and Addie live with a white family, a woman named Lora and her daughter, Susie. Sarah Jane desires to be white and pass in society, and reject her black mother. Her light skin and straight hair gives her a chance to escape this life, to declare "I'm White too."

Is straightened hair a form of passing in a white society?
