Danzy Senna Writes Herself (& Other Mixed-Race People) Into Existence

Fresh Air

About this episode

Novelist Danzy Senna spoke with Terry Gross about racial identity, growing up with a Black father and white mother in an era when "mixed-race" wasn't a thing. "Just merely existing as a family was a radical statement at that time," she says. Her latest book is Colored Television.

Also, Justin Chang reviews the new Superman movie.
