Meer over het boek

This widely read, controversial work from the Harlem Renaissance was the first novel to openly explore prejudice within the black community. A young woman, whose dark complexion is a source of sorrow and humiliation not only to herself but to her lighter-skinned family and friends, travels from Boise, Idaho, to New York's Harlem, hoping to find a safe haven in the Black Mecca of the 1920s.
