The Secret of Secrets (Robert Langdon, #6)
by Dan Brown (Goodreads Author) Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee in Readers' Favorite Mystery & Thriller |
|
“Though the one-drop rule is no longer law, even today mixed race is defined by the minority race. An example is former president Barack Obama. Though his father was black and his mother was white, he is referred to as the first black president, as if his father’s blackness erased his mother’s whiteness.”
― White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and Racial Passing
― White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and Racial Passing
“Allyson Hobbs posits that the loss of kinship from passing was just as acutely felt by dysfunctional families as it was stable ones. The core issue of passing is not becoming what you pass for, but losing what you pass away from. For Hobbs passing is about loss.”

“shiver and sweat from the malaria.” She put her hand to her throat. “One night he tried to strangle me. He thought I was the enemy.”

“In the long run men only hit what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.”
