Originally published in 1933, this intense narrative stands the test of time and continues to raise compelling, disturbing, and still contemporary themes of color prejudice and racial self-hatred. Several of today's bestselling novelists echo subject matter first visited in Fauset's commanding work, which overflows with rich, vivid, and complex characters who explore questions of color, passing, and black identity. Cherene Sherrard-Johnson's introduction places this literary classic in both the new modernist and transatlantic contexts and will be embraced by those interested in earlytwentieth-century women writers, novels about passing, the Harlem Renaissance, the black/white divide, and diaspora studies. Selected essays and poems penned by Fauset are also included, among them "Yarrow Revisited" and "Oriflamme," which help highlight the full canon of her extraordinary contribution to literature and provide contextual background to the novel. 410 0$aMulti-ethnic literatures of the Americas. 606 $aAfrican American families$vFiction 606 $aAfrican American women$vFiction 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity$vFiction 606 $aSelf-hate (Psychology)$vFiction 606 $aPassing (Identity)$vFiction 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican American families 615 0$aAfrican American women 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 615 0$aSelf-hate (Psychology) 615 0$aPassing (Identity) 676 $a813/.52 700 $aFauset$b Jessie Redmon$01055311 701 $aSherrard-Johnson$b Cherene$f1973-$01043480 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456592303321 996 $aComedy, American style$92488614 997 $aUNINA
