Almost White: A Provocative Study of America's Mixed Blood Minorities
Berry, Brewton
Almost White: A Provocative Study of America's Mixed Blood
Minorities by Brewton Berry is a study of mixed race communities in the
United States.
Many of these groups, like the Melungeons of
Appalachia, had mysterious origins. When Berry wrote this book in the
1960s, he had to rely on oral accounts of the origins of the community,
and to a degree his visual impressions. These are the groups Berry
visited and studied.
Such groups lived in isolated places to
avoid racial labels. More lighter skinned people would often leave the
area of their birth, so they were no longer associated with groups like
the Red Bones or Brass Ankles, who were considered, as the title of this
book suggests, almost white, but not white enough. Elsewhere, they
could simply live as Americans of European descent.
