The blacker the berry : a novel of Negro life
A source of controversy upon its 1929 publication, this novel was the first to openly address color prejudice among black Americans. The author, an active member of the Harlem Renaissance, offers insightful reflections of the era's mood and spirit in an enduringly relevant examination of racial, sexual, and cultural identity. The divide between the lighter-skinned (the "dictys/dicties" in the novel) and the darker African Americans still impacts attitudes in the black community to this day
