Abstract

The concept of passing originates in popular and legal discourses of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries about relations between black and white people in the United States. Passing as an analytic concept in sociology owes much to the work of Erving Goffman and Harold Garfinkel. Their approaches to passing are examined in this entry and the fertility of passing as a social constructionist concept is sketched.
