Extensive research into newspaper accounts bring the sense of the nation to the forefront as the court battle over what constituted blackness played out. A very engrossing read with a surprise ending. Not what I was expecting, but gave me plenty to think about. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
When Alice Jones, a former nanny, married Leonard Rhinelander in 1924, she became the first black woman to be listed in the Social Register as a member of one of New York's wealthiest families. Once news of the marriage became public, a scandal of race, class, and sex gripped the nation--and forced the couple into an annulment trial. "A compelling read."--Boston Globe "This is a great story....Earl Lewis and Heidi Ardizzone tell it very well."--Chicago Tribune Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
