Neat Stuff: Passing
Posted on December 3rd, 2007 by Odum Library
The ebrary book Goth’s Dark Empire includes an essay on Brandon Teena and the films based on Teena’s life: Boy’s Don’t Cry (available to check out from Odum Library on DVD) and The Brandon Teena Story. If you want to read about “passing” (identifying and living as a member of a social group other than the one you’re born into) we recommend the essay collection Passing: Identity and Interpretation in Sexuality, Race, and Religion, Brooke Kroeger’s Passing: When People Can’t Be Who They Are, or Shirlee Taylor Haizlip’s memoir of her multiracial family, The Sweeter the Juice.
