There is Confusion by Fauset, Jessie Redmon - 1924

London: Chapman and Hall Ltd. Very Good+. 1924. First British Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [nice tight copy with minor shelfwear, soiling and foxing to edges of text block, tiny bump to top rear corner]. The first of Fauset's four novels, tracing the family histories of the Marshalls of New York and the Byes of Philadelphia, each of whom must come to terms with the interconnectedness of the black and white races within their families. Written in direct response to (and rebuttal of) T.S. Stribling's 1922 novel "Birthright," which she and other African-American intellectuals felt presented an unrealistic and stereotypical depiction of black life in America. As literary editor of the NAACP's magazine "The Crisis" from 1919 to 1926, Fauset was an influential figure of the Harlem Renaissance. .
