Sag Harbor What is the theme in Sag Harbor by Colson Whitehead? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 05:27 Last updated by Jill W on 13 Aug 18:18
One major theme in the novel, Sag Harbor, is that of identity. This theme is illustrated in Benji's experiences in Sag Harbor, where he comes to identify and embrace his racial heritage, something to which he'd never before been exposed.
