Classic Serial: Passing

BBC Radio 4

1/2. Novelist Nella Larsen 's mixed parentage gave her a profound insight into racial issues in 1930s America. This story deals with those issues in the context of the passions and ambitions of middle-class black families, and the remarkable phenomenon of "passing" for white. Dramatised by Annie Caulfield.
