February 2018 Discussion • Passing by Nella Larsen


Passing by Nella Larsen is the February selection for the New Leaf Book Club.

Quote:
An important figure in the Harlem Renaissance, Nella Larsen was the first African-American woman to be awarded a Guggenheim fellowship. Her fictional portraits of women seeking their identities through a fog of racial confusion were informed by her own Danish-West Indian parentage, and Passing offers fascinating psychological insights into issues of race and gender.
