    This article explores what it might look like to read the biblical story of Rahab alongside literature from the African American literary canon. Specifically, the article examines the biblical account of Rahab found in Joshua 2 through the lens of identity and argues that, like characters in Harlem Renaissance author Nella Larsen’s novels Quicksand and Passing, Rahab is passing in Joshua 2. The characters Helga Crane from the novel Quicksand and Clare Kendry from the novel Passing serve as exemplars for passing (the act of presenting as of a different racial group than one’s own), and the markers of passing are mapped on to Rahab. This article is a womanist work, as it seeks to center the experiences of Black women.

CONCLUDING REMARKS 212 BIBLIOGRAPHY 220 ENGLISH ABSTRACT 234 DEUTSCHE ZUSAMMENFASSUNG 238 PUBLICATIONS 243 CURRICULUM VITAE 244 ; Passing for a member of another race, which in U.S. literature traditionally refers to the practice of passing for white, has always been a part of the American cultural imaginary. The figure of the racial border-crosser, visually ambiguous and bearing the potential to undermine racial distinctions aroused a level of literary fascination that widely exceeded the actual practice of passing. In my study I explore the way that the genre of the passing narrative, which developed in the decades around 1900, re-entered the literary scene in the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century, and why it continues to occupy the writers’ and readers’ minds. My ...
