Nella Larsen Imes, R.N. -- Epilogue -- Abbreviations -- Notes -- Acknowledgments -- IndexBorn to a Danish seamstress and a black West Indian cook, Nella Larsen lived her life in the shadows of America's racial divide. Her writings about that life, briefly celebrated in her time, were lost to later generations--only to be rediscovered and hailed by many. In his search for Nella Larsen, George Hutchinson exposes the truths and half-truths surrounding her, as well as the complex reality they mask and mirror. His book is a cultural biography of the color line as it was lived by one person who truly embodied all of its ambiguities and complexities.Novelists, American20th centuryBiographyAfrican American novelistsBiographyHarlem RenaissanceHarlem (New York, N.Y.)Intellectual life20th centuryNovelists, AmericanAfrican American novelistsHarlem Renaissance.813/.52HU 1728rvkHutchinson George1462643MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778184403321In search of Nella Larsen3671700UNINA
