Here, the New Negro is rising and Black pride is evident everywhere…in music, theatre, fashion and the arts. And there on stage in the center of this renaissance is Jessie Redmon Fauset, the new literary editor of the preeminent Negro magazine \u003ci\u003eThe Crisi\u003c\/i\u003es.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eW.E.B. Du Bois, the founder and editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e, has charged her with discovering young writers whose words will change the world. Jessie attacks the challenge with fervor, quickly finding sixteen-year-old Countee Cullen, seventeen-year-old Langston Hughes, and Nella Larsen, who becomes one of her best friends. Under Jessie’s leadership, \u003ci\u003eThe Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e thrives, the writers become notable and magazine subscriptions soar. Every Negro writer in the country wants their work published in the magazine now known for its groundbreaking poetry and short stories. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJessie’s rising star is shining bright….but her relationship with W.E.B. could jeopardize all that she’s built. The man, considered by most to be the leader of Black America, is not only Jessie’s boss, he’s her lover. And neither his wife, nor their fourteen-year-age difference can keep the two apart. Their torrid and tumultuous affair is complicated by a secret desire that Jessie harbors — to someday, herself, become the editor of the magazine, a position that only W.E.B. Du Bois has held.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the face of overwhelming sexism and racism, Jessie must balance her drive with her desires. However, as she strives to preserve her legacy, she’ll discover the high cost of her unparalleled success.","brand":"Random House Large Print","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45993728835839,"sku":"9798217067558","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9798217067558_s600x595.jpg?v=1775593970","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9798217067558","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
