Description

Born to a Danish seamstress and a West Indian cook, Larsen lived her life in the shadows of America’s racial divide. Hutchinson exposes the truths and half-truths surrounding her, and the complex reality they mask and mirror. His book is a cultural biography of the color line as lived by a person who embodied all its ambiguities and complexities.
