At the time of its publication, Wallace Thurman&#8217s debut novel was deeply provocative. This was due not only to its frank considerations of race and sex, but also to its vivid portrait of a Harlem that few other writers had dared to explore. At the heart of this journey into new terrain is Emma Lou Morgan, a Black woman who leaves her &#8220color-struck&#8221 Idaho hometown behind and strikes out, first for Los Angeles and later for Harlem&#8212where, unfortunately, discrimination simply takes on a new form. A controversial look at color prejudice across the country (but particularly across the tenements, employment agencies, cabarets, and movie houses of 1920s Harlem), The Blacker the Berry is a biting and enduringly relevant exploration of personal growth, cultural identity, and the pernicious influence of American racism.Revised edition: Previously published as The Blacker the Berry, this edition of The Blacker the Berry includes editorial revisions.
