A proposito di questo titolo
 Dive into the poignant tale of Iola Leroy, a free-born, mixed-race woman who navigated the complexities of identity by passing as white. Her hidden racial background is eventually revealed, leading to her kidnapping and sale into slavery. Rescued by the Union Army, Iola embarks on a desperate quest to reunite with her scattered family members, torn apart by the brutalities of slavery. Along the way, she fiercely advocates for the upliftment of African Americans, confronting the pressing issues of race and gender during the antebellum and post-Civil War periods. Iola Leroy is a profound exploration of identity, resilience, and the socio-political ramifications of passing. (Summary by James K. White)Copyright Nature and Animals Mondiale Scienza Scienze sociali
