| Abstract | In 1906 Clara Berens published a young adult novel that explores race, ethnicity, and gender in nineteenth-century America. Berens's German-American protagonist, Erna, encounters a "panorama of American racial attitudes while struggling over her love for the light-skinned ex-slave Morrison." |
