Abstract
Curry's article takes readers on an ethnographic journey in post-apartheid South Africa, where she discusses the complex nature of race and its social construction. Using case studies of other African Americans who traveled to South Africa from the 1930s to the early twenty-first century, Curry grapples with the complex issue of race and identity. She concludes that race involves more than complexion, for it also encompasses linguistic ability, geography, cultural traits, body language, and nationality. These identity markers, Curry observes, played an immense role in her “social transformation” from an African American to a South African Coloured.
