Nella Larsen Imes, R.N. -- $tEpilogue -- $tAbbreviations -- $tNotes -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tIndex 330 $aBorn 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. 606 $aNovelists, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American novelists$vBiography 606 $aHarlem Renaissance 607 $aHarlem (New York, N.Y.)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNovelists, American 615 0$aAfrican American novelists 615 0$aHarlem Renaissance. 676 $a813/.52 686 $aHU 1728$2rvk 700 $aHutchinson$b George$01042894 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454680403321 996 $aIn search of Nella Larsen$92467506 997 $aUNINA
