Emma Lou Morgan s dark complexion is a source of sorrow and humiliation not only to herself, but also to her lighter-skinned family members and the white community of her hometown, Boise, Idaho. Hoping to find a safe haven, Emma travels to New York s Harlem, the Black Mecca of the 1920s. Wallace Thurman brings to life this legendary time and place in rich detail, describing Emma s visits to nightclubs, dance halls, and house-rent parties, her sex life and catastrophic love affairs, her dreams and her disillusions and the momentous decision she makes to survive. A lost classic of Black American literature, The Blacker the Berry is a compelling portrait of the destructive depth of intra-racial bias in the Black community.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46717705027742,"sku":"ADS-9781454960157","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781454960157.jpg?v=1776128723","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781454960157","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
