"The authors of these novels criticize the unbalanced double-consciousness of their protagonists.  All four books ultimately deliver a message of pride in the black racial identity.  While the authors are not against passing, they challenge their readers to question the motives for crossing over and criticize the social structures and constructs that make such a thing necessary in the first place."

-- Weston Kulvete
