Passing

(1929)
A Novella by

 
 
A stunning novel about the cultural and emotional conflicts faced by two light-skinned African American women in the 1920s. One marries a white man and "passes." The other marries within her race but denies prejudice. First published in 1929, PASSING is a remarkably candid exploration of racism and of the morally ambiguous consequences of even the most carefully made decisions.
