Comedy: American Style (Multi-ethnic Literatures of the Americas)

"Comedy: American Style", Jessie Redmon Fauset's fourth and final novel, recounts the tragic tale of a family's destruction - the story of a mother who denies her clan its heritage. Originally published in 1933, this intense narrative stands the test of time and continues to raise compelling, disturbing, and still contemporary themes of color prejudice and racial self-hatred. Several of today's bestselling novelists echo subject matter first visited in Fauset's commanding work, which overflows with rich, vivid, and complex characters who explore questions of color, passing, and black identity.
