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
