Portraits Of The New Negro Woman
Of all the images to arise from the Harlem Renaissance, the most thought-provoking were those of the mulatta. This title investigates the visual and literary images of black femininity that occurred between the two world wars. It illuminates the centrality of the mulatta by examining a variety of arguments about race in the Harlem Renaissance.
