Brown Girl, Brownstones

PLOT SUMMARY

The somewhat autobiographical story describes the life of Barabadian Immigrants in Brooklyn, N.Y. during the depression and then in World War II. The primary characters include Selina Boyce and her parents, who suffer from racism and extreme poverty.

The book did not gain widespread recognition until it was reprinted in 1981.
