Passing Nella Larsen

Facsimile of 1929 Edition. &nbsp,Clare Kendry leads a dangerous life. Fair, elegant, and ambitious, she is married to a white man unaware of her African American heritage, and has severed all ties to her past. Clare&rsquo,s childhood friend, Irene Redfield, just as light-skinned, has chosen to remain within the African American community, but refuses to acknowledge the racism that continues to constrict her family&rsquo,s happiness. A chance encounter forces both women to confront the lies they have told others&mdash,and the secret fears they have buried within themselves.&nbsp, Critics have argued that through its attention to the way &quot,passing&quot, unhinges ideas of race, class, and gender, the novel opens spaces for the creation of new, self-generated identities.&nbsp, Since the late 20th century, Passing has received renewed attention from scholars because of its close examination of racial and sexual ambiguities and liminal spaces. &nbsp,It has achieved canonical status in many American universities.
