November 2, 1997 Passing A black poet and teacher chronicles life in a white world. By BENJAMIN DEMOTT THE BLACK NOTEBOOKS An Interior Journey. By Toi Derricotte. 205 pp. New York: n ''The Black Notebooks'' a light-skinned black woman, Toi Derricotte, examines in journal form her recurring longings for ''escape from blackness'' and her indulgence of those longings during intervals of ''passing'' for white. The book's achievement lies in the telling light it casts on how white skin functions in a multiracial world, what whiteness sees and can't see and why whites harm themselves as well as blacks when they dismiss black claims that white vision is defective. A poet and teacher in her 50's, Derricotte focuses on her childhood and marriage, her life in various classrooms and in suburbia (in this case, Upper Montclair, N.J.), and her stay at a Yaddo-like artists' colony. Over and over, in brief scenes, she dramatizes her experience as a chooser of her racial identity a person who, having ''passed invisibly into the white world,'' has felt the ''sudden and alarming moment of consciousness when I remember I am black.'' Often journal entries recounting Derricotte's experiences of ''passing'' begin with the sense of relief or safety conferred by temporary membership in the majority, and end in anguish, guilt or panic at the costs of the choice. There's no social science, no media analysis, little lecturing in the book; the bitter story is told mainly through poignantly realized details of feeling.
