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.

Love these for super chewers
Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Large
I have two pit bulls and they destroy everything. These have held up very well for weeks. I use the cups for their morning yogurt and can even use hot water wand soap to wash them out. These are a great value for the money and the dogs love to carry them around in their mouths and even tug o war with them. Highly recommend.

Amazing
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 6.9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dogs love these so much, seems to keep my girl meatballs teeth clean. Both of them go craft for these, they chew on them almost all day, it keeps them busy. I bought other brands of these but they had this jelly filling that wasn’t safe for them, so I switched to this peanut butter one that seems a lot healthier and is a lot safer for my dogs (in a sense they won’t choke on it from basically inhaling it again 😭) and they are still interested in the bone once it’s empty, so it’s a toy that lasts forever. Overall an amazing cheap dog find on here

Great!
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 6.9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is such a perfect treat for dogs! They can chew and play with it for hours. No mess or stinky smell. Bang for your buck! It lasts long but as soon as you can see any sharp edges, simply throw it away just to be on the safe side.
