George Schuyler, a renowned black journalist of the Harlem Renaissance, and Texas heiress Josephine Cogdell believed that intermarriage would "invigorate" the races, thereby producing extraordinary offspring. Their daughter, Philippa Duke Schuyler became the embodiment of this theory as a child, but suffered the double sting of racial and gender bias as a young adult. "Composition in Black and White" is the first authorized biography of the "little Harlem genius". 47 halftones.
