HARLEM RENAISSANCE SERIES THE BLACKER THE BER...

VINTAGE CLASSICS' HARLEM RENAISSANCE SERIES Celebrating the finest works of the Harlem
Renaissance  one of the most important Black arts movements in modern history. 'Why not? She's
just as a good as the rest  and you know what they say  the blacker the berry  the sweeter the
juice' Growing up  Emma Lou Morgan stuck out - her skin was the darkest in every room  even
within her own home. With the encouragement of her uncle  Emma flees smalltown Idaho firstly to
study in Los Angeles before travelling to Harlem. Though she enjoys the glamour of attending
the theatre and the buzz of cabaret  every excursion is tinged with the fear of discrimination.
Even in big cities  Emma cannot escape the bigotry of colourism  but can she change how it
makes her feel about herself? The Blacker the Berry is an arrestingly vivid portrayal of how
very deeply every facet of prejudice runs. 'Thurman's novel presents some of the most layered
portrayals of New York City life...from seedy employment agency waiting rooms to swank Harlem
hot spots' NPR
