Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Awesome!
Toomer was neither self-identified himself as African American nor as European American but sought to transend all racial existence.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Toomer was NOT "African American" but European-American
Readers who call Jean Toomer "black" or "African American" are totally in error. He rejected that racist "one drop" classification and deserves praise and admiration for doing so. Toomer's parents and grandparents were not "black middle class" but looked whiter than many Americans who call themselves "white."
