Passing Summary:
| A stunning novel about the cultural and emotional conflicts faced by two light-skinned African American women in the 1920s. One marries a white man and "passes." The other marries within her race but denies prejudice. First published in 1929, PASSING is a remarkably candid exploration of racism and of the morally ambiguous consequences of even the most carefully made decisions |

| "A landmark novel about the cultural meaning of race by the Harlem Renaissance's premier writers Clare Kendry leads a dangerous life. Fair, elegant, and ambitious, she is married to a white man unaware of her African American heritage, and has severed all ties to her past. Clare's childhood friend, Irene Redfield, just as light-skinned, has chosen to remain within the African American community, but refuses to acknowledge the racism that continues to constrict her family's happiness. A chance encounter forces both women to confront the lies they have told others-and the secret fears they have buried within themselves. First published in 1929, Passing is a remarkably candid exploration of shifting racial and sexual boundaries." |
