Description
“A Black boy could get along but a Black girl would never know anything but sorrow and disappointment.” Mirroring Nella Larsen’s Passing, The Blacker the Berry: A Novel of Negro Life is the fantastic debut of Wallace Thurman.Emma Lou was born black.
Abandoned by her father at birth, she is subject to skin bleaching by her mother who hopes to make the child more desirable.
Learning that she is unwanted in white society but also ostracized within her own, Emma Lou navigates a harsh and unrelenting world as she tries to come to terms with her life and love herself in the skin she’s in.Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of The Blacker the Berry: A Novel of Negro Life is a reimaging of a Harlem Renaissance staple for the modern reader.
