In The Blacker the Berry..., a classic yet provocative novel written during the Harlem Renaissance, a young woman must reckon with colorism in the Black community as she navigates 1920s New York City. One of the most widely read and controversial works of the Harlem Renaissance, The Blacker the Berry...was the first novel to openly explore prejudice within the Black community. This pioneering novel found a way beyond the bondage of Blackness in American life to a new meaning in truth and beauty. Emma Lou Brown's dark complexion is a source of sorrow and humiliation -- not only to herself, but to her lighter-skinned family and friends and to the white community of Boise, Idaho, her hometown. As a young woman, Emma travels to New York's Harlem, hoping to find a safe haven in the Black Mecca of the 1920s. Wallace Thurman recreates this legendary time and place in rich detail, describing Emma's visits to nightclubs and dance halls and house-rent parties, her sex life and her catastrophic love affairs, her dreams and her disillusions--and the momentous decision she makes in order to survive. A lost classic of Black American literature, The Blacker the Berry...is a compelling portrait of the destructive depth of racial bias in this country. A new introduction by Shirlee Taylor Haizlip, author of The Sweeter the Juice, highlights the timelessness of the issues of race and skin color in America.Binding Type: Paperback

Buy this one!
Size: 65 Inch, Color: Light Grey
This was a great buy! I looked through many many different options before buying and this one was the one I chose. Definitely a good choice. It keeps its shape and is cool to the touch which is amazing for a hot sleeper. It helps so much with my sore hips being 7 months pregnant. Fits great on my queen size bed with room still got my partner to sleep comfortably as well. Definitely recommend!

Great pregnancy pillow!!
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey
I LOVE this pillow. It arrived quickly and was packaged very well. It was pretty squished when it arrived, but fluffed up very quickly! I didn't notice any odor when I unpackaged it. Love that the cover can just zip off for easy cleaning. It's helped a ton with my hip pain this pregnancy. It stays pretty cool, especially when compared to my normal pillow. First night I had it was the best sleep I've had in a long time and I look forward to laying down with it. Only bummer is it takes up quite a lot of room on the bed. I don't mind, but I do feel bad for my husband who I share with lol.

good
This pregnancy pillow feels really comfortable and provides good support while sleeping. It is a bit bulky, so sometimes I switch back to my regular pillow, but overall, it still feels really good and helps me get more comfortable at night.

10 out of 10
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey
10 out of 10. Just got this in and I am finally sleeping at night. So soft, instant lower back relief, and fits well even on the couch.

Too firm throughout, but no support
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Yellow
I like the feel of the fabric but it's honestly not comfortable for me. The stuffing makes the pillow way too firm and I wake up with sore neck muscles. I do appreciate the body length, (I am 5'3) and it's comfortable for a little while, but not for the whole night. Especially because I have to get up multiple times to use the bathroom, and this pillow just gets in the way. I decided to just use three different pillows for my head, my legs and my arms/back at all different firmness so I get the support I need. If you are able to deal with the firmness of the pillow throughout, this might be a good option for you.
I also ordered the cooling option and this does not help keep me cool at night. Even with the AC on and the fan running. It sleeps hot. I ended up storing it back in its vacuumed sealed bag and put it away.
