• W38744911 abstract "Yes, she has arrived. Like her white sister, she is product of profound and vital changes in our economic mechanism, wrought mainly by World War and its aftermath. Along entire gamut of social, economic and political attitudes, Negro Woman, with her head erect and spirit undaunted is resolutely marching toward liberation of her people in particular and human race in general. Editorial, The Messenger's New Negro issue (1923) In June 1924, three months after publication of There Is Confusion, Jessie Redmon Fauset confided in her friend and erstwhile prot,g, Langston Hughes that she planned to begin working on her next novel following month (24 June 1924). From Paris four months later, she reported her difficult progress with this second novel, a project radically different from her earlier prose: stuff of my next novel--I have a good title for it too--but I am troubled as I have never been before with form. Somehow I've never thought much about form before except for verse. But now I think I am over zealous--I write and destroy and smoke and get nervous. I hate these false starts (8 October 1924). The resulting novel, Plum Bun, represents a struggle with form on several fronts. As a feminist, anti-racist project, novel explores intersections of race and gender constructions of black and white American women. Written at height of both Negro and Woman artistic and political movements, it represents aims, outcomes, and implications of both movements. While Fauset and her text occupy intersection of Negro and Woman, both author and text represent limitations of each movement completely to represent its constituency. At same time as Fauset and Plum Bun demonstrate a congress between two progressive cultural movements sharing a historical moment, they also underscore mutual exclusivity and even contradictions inherent in both movements. Formally Plum Bun reconciles Negro and Woman movements in a protagonist who embodies both--not, however, at same time. Not until very end of novel, when Angela Murray embraces and trumpets her racial identity and devotes herself to her artistic career in a Europe removed from cultural sites of both movements in United States, do both gender and racial advancement coalesce in unified female subject. Fauset unites Negro and Woman in a character defined by her inability to recognize two aspects of her identity, two cultural desires, at same time. In teasing Out intersection of race and class through a character whose racial passing bypasses that intersection of identity, Fauset's novel implies their irreconcilability. Hazel Carby has analyzed function of mulatto figure in African American literature as a narrative device of mediation between two and expression of relationship between races (89). As a passing novel Plum Bun implies color line's false distinction at same time as it redefines terms of its binary. In contrast to Heba Jannath's image of mulatto's passing like a shuttle ... back and forth between two races, spiritually and physically weaving them together (61), Angela's fractured identity represents racial apartheid reaffirmed by her social complicity. Angela's childhood forays into white womanhood with her mother produce a superficial notion of life in which she later immerses herself, a life whose ethos is limited to stereotypes of women as decorous consumers. Angela and Mattie Murray spend their passing Saturdays shopping and lunching in Philadelphia's elite shops and hotel dining rooms, and Angela learns in those spaces that the great rewards of life--riches, glamour, pleasure,--are for white-skinned people only (Plum Bun 17). Unlike her hardworking, purposeful sister Virginia (who spends her Saturdays exploring historic districts with their father), Angela seeks an identity based on fashionable and idle elegance she learns on those excursions (18): Angela had no high purpose in life; unlike her sister Virginia, who meant some day to invent a marvelous method for teaching pianoforte, Angela felt no impulse to discover, or to perfect. …" @default.
