The Trouble Of Color by Martha S. Jones
Martha S. Jones’s memoir traces a lifetime shaped by questions of skin, hair, and belonging after a college confrontation prompted her to examine who she is. Turning to family history — from the woman who left bondage to later generations — Jones explores how color, distinct from race, has influenced identity and opportunity. The Trouble of Color is a reflective, personal investigation of family, ancestry, and the shifting meanings of race in America.
