Tired of the scorn and contempt of her classmates teachers friends and even family she leaves her hometown of Boise Idaho travelling first to Los Angeles and then to Harlem New York in search of a community to which she can belong. In Harlem Emma Lou finds an exciting vibrant scene of nightclubs and dance halls and parties and love affairs but there is no escaping the shame she feels about the darkness of her skin. Written by an overlooked author of the Harlem Renaissance The Blacker the Berry is a vivid and disturbing portrait of a young woman who has been rejected by her own race.
