"Invisible Shadows is Ms. Thomas's account of comingto consciousness about race in the wake of changes in education, civil rig hts, and black self-awareness that swept across the continent in the secondhalf of the twentieth century and against the wider backdrop of slavery. P art autobiography, part history, parrt race theory, the work's hybrid form reflects the range of influences brought to bear on it -- intersecting histories, cutlures, and communities framed by the events of one woman's life. [... Ms. Thomas] is, as George Elliott Clarke proclaims, 'a roots intellectual, a wisdom woman, a politic ... one of those indomitable women who surveys and scrutinizes, excoriates and condemns, laughs and satirizes'." - fromthe rear cover.
