¿¿¿¿ What does it mean to live between two worlds-seen, yet unseen?

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a powerful and provocative novel by James Weldon Johnson, chronicling the life of a mixed-race man in early 20th-century America. Born to a Black mother and a wealthy white father, the unnamed narrator struggles with racial identity, privilege, love, and the haunting decision to "pass" as white in a segregated society ¿¿.

Blending memoir-style realism with philosophical depth, Johnson's work is one of the earliest and most influential explorations of the African-American experience, colorism, and internalized conflict. It remains deeply relevant to modern conversations on race, class, and visibility.

This annotated edition includes historical context, discussion questions, and footnotes-ideal for classrooms, book clubs, and readers seeking deeper understanding of America's racial past ¿¿¿¿.
