Title: From Black to Blacker
Review: For some people black is black. But not for the main character in Blacker the Berry, Emma Lou. She is very black in a family that is not that black.BtB is about her struggle against color prejudice from the white world in the 20s but also within the black world. She tries fighting this but trying to be more white and also by bleaching her skin to appear more white, but mostly to no avail.This beautiful and somewhat sad story is great to read more about colorism and/or color consciousness. the irony in the book is great. Watch out for a Rent Party and a man called Truman Walter, I think this is Thurman Wallace speaking.great read, one of the better in African American Literature
