I have the Penguin Classics version of Passing. I read the introduction and I would say for anyone who wants to form their own opinions first, save the introduction until you finish the story. The introduction gives a lot spoilers and it forms a lot of opinions about the story that would be best left until after you've formed your own opinions. Then you can compare your opinions with those from the introduction.
So if you have the Penguin Classics version, save the introduction for last.
