I didn't catch it either, though I fully admit I missed it in Anansi Boys (I don't feel very guilty about that though, I hated that book).

I swear to god if his name being Shadow was supposed to be a clue to his ethnicity...

I just spent like ten minutes trying to track down the quote for you and failing, but the summary of the in-book explanation is that he was a shy little kid, and was always hanging around his mother like a shadow. I can't speak to authorial intent, though.

Given the reveal of who he is, mythologically, I think 'Shadow' was as much a dark ironic joke as anything.
