520    "In 1948, journalist Ray Sprigle traded his whiteness to 
       live as a black man for four weeks. A little over a decade
       later, John Howard Griffin famously 'became' black as well,
       traveling the American South in search of a certain kind 
       of racial understanding. Contemporary history is littered 
       with the surprisingly complex stories of white people 
       passing as black, and here Alisha Gaines constructs a 
       unique genealogy of 'empathetic racial impersonation' - 
       white liberals walking in the fantasy of black skin under 
       the alibi of cross-racial empathy. At the end of their 
       experiments in 'blackness, ' Gaines argues that these 
       debatably well-meaning white impersonators arrived at 
       little more than false consciousness"--|cProvided by
