In The Blacker the Berry..., a classic yet provocative novel written during the Harlem Renaissance, a young woman must reckon with colorism in the Black community as she navigates 1920s New York City.

One of the most widely read and controversial works of the Harlem Renaissance, The Blacker the Berry...was the first novel to openly explore prejudice within the Black community. This pioneering novel found a way beyond the bondage of Blackness in American life to a new meaning in truth and beauty.

Emma Lou Brown's dark complexion is a source of sorrow and humiliation -- not only to herself, but to her lighter-skinned family and friends and to the white community of Boise, Idaho, her hometown. As a young woman, Emma travels to New York's Harlem, hoping to find a safe haven in the Black Mecca of the 1920s. Wallace Thurman recreates this legendary time and place in rich detail, describing Emma's visits to nightclubs and dance halls and house-rent parties, her sex life and her catastrophic love affairs, her dreams and her disillusions--and the momentous decision she makes in order to survive.

A lost classic of Black American literature, The Blacker the Berry...is a compelling portrait of the destructive depth of racial bias in this country. A new introduction by Shirlee Taylor Haizlip, author of The Sweeter the Juice, highlights the timelessness of the issues of race and skin color in America.

Hate the Price, but love the ink.
Style: Ink
I totally hate the price of printer ink, mostly when it dries out when not in constant use, but I purchased generic and my printer would not let me use it and i have avoided the firmware update. So back to buying epson ink. It worked the minute i loaded it into the printer. Epson ink is great. it was great color and quality. Just hate the price tag.

Pricey but they work
Style: Ink
Pricey but the remanufactured ones either don't work at all, or they work for a short time then go belly up...

Run out of ink quickly
Style: Ink
When you have the Epson work Workforce Pro 3820 it only accepts Epson cartridges none of the cheaper ones Epson cartridges run out of ink really fast I actually had some of the non-epson brand cartridges in there they worked a couple of times but then one day they absolutely refuse to work so they're worthless and then I had to actually buy the Epson brand name
