Nella Larsen was an important writer associated with the Harlem
Renaissance. While she was not prolific her work was powerful and
critically acclaimed. Passing confronts the reality of racial passing.
The novel focuses on two childhood friends Clare and Irene, both of
whom are light skinned enough to pass as white, who have reconnected
with one another after many years apart. Clare has chosen to pass
while Irene has embraced her racial heritage and become an important
member of her community. The Novel examines how people pass on many
different levels and in many different ways. Some forms of passing are
perfectly acceptable while others can lead to disaster.
