Les écrivains afro-américains participent volontiers à des colloques consacrés à leur œuvre en Europe, au motif que les chercheurs de ce côté de l'Atlantique s'intéressent à des aspects textuels fréquemment laissés de côté par les lecteurs étasuniens. Les essais rassemblés dans le présent volume découlent d'une réunion soutenue par le Conseil Scientifique de l'Université de Tours. D'autres essais furent sollicités par la suite afin que le présent volume soit, autant que faire se pouvait, à jour des nouvelles publications de l'auteur. Nous remercions Percival Everett de sa précieuse collaboration lors des débats, et de la longue interview qu'il nous a autorisés à transcrire ici. African-American writers willingly attend European symposiums dealing with their work because scholars here focus on textual aspects American readers frequently leave aside. The essays collected here arose on the occasion of such a symposium sponsored by the Conseil Scientifique de l'Université François-Rabelais de Tours. Other essays were commissioned later in order to make the collection as complete as possible when new books came out. We wish to thank Percival Everett for his enlightening collaboration during the debates, as well as for the long interview he has allowed us to transcribe here.

This book is a full-length study of contemporary American fiction of 'passing'. It takes as its point of departure the return of racial and gender passing in the 1990s in order to make claims about wider trends in contemporary American fiction.
