Choosing Racial Identity in the United States, 1880-1940 Emily Nix's
paper documents that many black males experienced a change in racial
classification to white in the United States, 1880 - 1940, while
changes in racial classification were negligible for other races. Her
paper provides a rich set of descriptive evidence on the lives of
black men “passing” for white, such as their patterns of marriage,
children, the passing of spouses and children, migration and income.
