In this provocative study, Michael Soto examines African American cultural forms through the lens of census history to tell the story of how U.S. officialdom - in particular the Census Bureau - placed persons of African descent within a shifting taxonomy of racial difference, and how African American writers and intellectuals described a far more complex situation of interracial social contact and intra-racial diversity. What we now call African American identity and the literature that gives it voice emerged out of social, cultural, and intellectual forces that fused in Harlem roughly one century ago.
