James Weldon Johnson
詹姆斯·威尔顿·约翰逊(James Weldon Johnson)
In Johnson’s groundbreaking “Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man” (1912), a young man of mixed race decides to pass as white. As its author had hoped, the anonymously published novel “passed” as memoir until Johnson acknowledged it to be fiction in 1927. “Autobiography” went on to influence generations of African-American writers.
在约翰逊1912年石破天惊的小说《一个前有色人种的自传》(Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man)中，一个混血儿希望自己以白人的身份蒙混过关。正如作者所愿，这部匿名出版的小说也被当做回忆录而“蒙混过关”了。直到1927年，约翰逊才承认它是虚构的。《自传》继续影响了好几代非裔美国作家。
