Submit ReviewGrowing up in rural North Carolina, people would always ask Jess Jolley, "What are you?" or "What are you mixed with?" In the South, you were either white, Black, or other, and as a light-skinned Black person, that wasn't always easy. And as Jess would discover by looking into historical records, race is not a binary construct.
