Sobre IBD

Angela e Virginia Murray sono sorelle, cresciute in una famiglia afroamericana a Filadelfia. Diversamente da Virginia, Angela ha ereditato la pelle chiara della madre Mattie, il che le dà l’opportunità di 'passare' per bianca in contesti pubblici. Poco dopo che le sorelle Murray raggiungono l’età adulta, entrambi i genitori muoiono, lasciando la loro casa alle figlie. Sperando di portare avanti la sua carriera artistica, Angela decide di vendere la sua quota della casa a Virginia e trasferirsi a New York, dove può vivere quotidianamente come donna bianca. Cambiando il suo nome in 'Angèle Mory', Angela si trova coinvolta in una serie di storie d’amore, creando al contempo una frattura con la sorella a causa del suo comportamento egocentrico.Plum Bun, il secondo romanzo di Jessie Redmon Fauset, esplora le tensioni tra identità razziale e ambizione individuale, soprattutto in relazione al genere e alla classe sociale. Pubblicato un anno prima della novella di Nella Larsen Passing, Plum Bun fu una delle prime opere letterarie a trattare il tema del 'passing' dal punto di vista femminile.
