"I rebel at the notion that I can't be part of other groups, that I can't construct identities through elective affinity, that race must be the most important thing about me," he once wrote in an open letter to his daughters. Through all the work runs the dichotomy of race. They are the corollary of a teaching career that has taken him from Yale to Cornell to Duke to Harvard.
