		Danzy Senna's first novel Caucasia is the story of a disappearance, not just the disappearance of Birdie and her mother, Sandy, but of Birdie's identity.
		Birdie's first-person narration adds pathos to her story; the voice of the older, wiser narrator underscoring and illuminating the more naive viewpoint of the young girl, as she begins to suspect, for instance, that her mother may never have had to leave Boston in the first place.
		Caucasia provides Senna with a unique opportunity to critique both sides, fl and white, at once, to divulge a world in which even the kindest of people have reservations about people whose skin color differs from their own.
