Coming to Netflix! Nella Larsen’s Passing is a distinctive and
revealing novel about racial identity, now a critically acclaimed
film adaptation by Rebecca Hall, starring Tessa Thompson, Ruth
Negga and Alexander Skarsgård. Irene Redfield, married to a
successful physician, enjoys a comfortable life in Harlem, New
York. Reluctantly, she renews her friendship with old school
friend, Clare Kendry. Clare, who like Irene is light skinned,
‘passes’ as white and is married to a racist white man who has
no idea about Clare’s racial heritage. Clare is very persuasive
and Irene, despite misgivings, can’t resist letting her back into
her world. As tensions mount between friends and between couples,
this taut and mesmerizing narrative spins towards an unexpected
end. This edition of Passing features an introduction by writer and
academic, Christa Holm Vogelius.
