Summary

Véritable classique de la littérature noire américaine, Le Mariage est paru en 1996 chez Belfond. En digne héritière du mouvement Harlem Renaissance, Dorothy West livre une saga familiale qui nous plonge dans l'élite noire des années 50, confrontée encore et toujours à la question raciale.
" La couleur était un leurre. Pas l'amour. "


Sur la très chic île de Martha's Vineyard, c'est l'effervescence : Shelby Coles, héritière d'une des plus prestigieuses dynasties noires de la région, est sur le point d'épouser Meade, un jazzman blanc sans le sou. Autour de ce mariage vont se cristalliser désirs et rancœurs qui prennent leurs racines bien des générations auparavant...


Saga familiale culte,Le Mariageaborde avec subtilité et anticonformisme les thèmes du racisme et de l'idéologie de classe. À l'instar d'une Zora Neale Hurston, Dorothy West, proche du mouvement Harlem Renaissance et infatigable défenseuse des droits civiques, fut une figure centrale de la littérature afro-américaine, injustement oubliée et à redécouvrir d'urgence.
