"While Gaines is an adept close reader of the white unconscious and of literary narrative, she also demonstrates a keen understanding of historical contexts that shape debates about race from the 1940s to the present. [...] In doing so, Gaines’s work admirably demonstrates a multidisciplinary American studies methodology. [...] Black for a Day offers convincing and important analysis of the failures of white allies and skewers facile claims of cross-racial alliance, and in that way participates in a “hermeneutics of suspicion,” uncovering racism lurking within narratives of seemingly liberal whiteness." — ALH Online Review, XXVI.1 (2018)
