{"product_id":"passing-dover-literature-african-american","title":"Passing (Dover Literature: African American)","description":"\"Absolutely absorbing, fascinating, and indispensable.\" — Alice Walker\n\"A work so fine, sensitive, and distinguished that it rises above race categories and becomes that rare object, a good novel.\" — The Saturday Review of Literature\nMarried to a successful physician and prominently ensconced in Harlem's vibrant society of the 1920s, Irene Redfield leads a charmed existence-until she is shaken out of it by a chance encounter with a childhood friend who has been \"passing for white.\" An important figure in the Harlem Renaissance, Nella Larsen was the first African-American woman to be awarded a Guggenheim fellowship. Her fictional portraits of women seeking their identities through a fog of racial confusion were informed by her own Danish-West Indian parentage, and Passing offers fascinating psychological insights into issues of race and gender.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486437132\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0486437132.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Larsen, Nella\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
