More copies of this ISBN:Plum Bun: A Novel Without a Moral (Black Women Writers)by Jessie R. Fauset
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Written in 1929 at the height of the Harlem Renaissance by one of its most prolific authors, Plum Bun is the story of Angela Murray, a young black girl from Philadelphia who discovers she can pass for white. After the death of her parents, Angela moves to New York to escape the racism she believes is her only obstacle to opportunity. What she soon discovers is that being a woman has its own burdens that don't fade with the color of one's skin, and that love and marriage might not offer her salvation. "This novel was Fauset's call to the community to open itself to discussion and criticism and to aggressive intellectual pursuit of knowledge and experience. That call is just as necessary today. Plum Bun is a fine example of the hidden Harlem Renaissance—where the women were writers too." —Marie Elsie St. Leger, Emerge "A fascinating glimpse of a now-vanished Harlem culture." —Rosalind Warren, New Directions for Women About the AuthorJessie Redmon Fauset (1882—1961) was literary editor of Crisis from 1919 to 1926.
