Overview

Written in 1929 at the height of the Harlem Renaissance by one of the movement's most important and prolific authors, Plum Bun is the story of Angela Murray, a young black girl who discovers she can pass for white. After the death of her parents, Angela moves to New York to escape the racism she believes is her only obstacle to opportunity. What she soon discovers is that being a woman has its own burdens that don't fade with the color of one's skin, and that love and marriage might not offer her salvation.

Here in Plum Bun, Jessie Fauset's keen—eyed appraisal of cultural, racial and sexual politics in the 1920s New York extends and complicates our understanding of the Harlem Rennaissance.
