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.

Nella Larsen truly caught the entire aspect of passing. I read this book a few years ago and even though there was a significant time gap between the publication and my reading it. Through dialogue and non-verbal actions, this book really takes the reader into the moment and the ending, O! the ending leaves one asking, "What REALLY happened?" It should be recommended when studying on the affect of colorism within the Black race.
