Nella Larsen's powerful, thrilling, and tragic tale about the fluidity of racial identity that continues to resonate today. A New York Times Editors' Choice

Clare Kendry is living on the edge. Light-skinned, elegant, and ambitious, she is married to a racist white man unaware of her African American heritage, and has severed all ties to her past after deciding to "pass" as a white woman. Clare's childhood friend, Irene Redfield, just as light-skinned, has chosen to remain within the African American community, and is simultaneously allured and repelled by Clare's risky decision to engage in racial masquerade for personal and societal gain. After frequenting African American-centric gatherings together in Harlem, Clare's interest in Irene turns into a homoerotic longing for Irene's black identity that she abandoned and can never embrace again, and she is forced to grapple with her decision to pass for white in a way that is both tragic and telling. This edition features a new introduction by Emily Bernard and notes by Thadious M. Davis.

High-Quality 12 AWG Silicone Wire — Perfect for Battery Projects
Size: 12 silicone wire red 10ft and black 10ft, Color: silicone wire red and black
I bought the BNTECHGO 12 Gauge Silicone Wire (10 ft red and 10 ft black) to wire my battery power box, and it has worked flawlessly. BNTECHGO wire has always been reliable for me, and this set is no exception — very flexible, durable, and easy to work with. I’ve purchased numerous other gauges and colors from BNTECHGO, and I continue to be very happy with the quality. I would definitely buy again. Important Note: The amperage rating depends on your wire gauge and your specific application. Make sure to size your wire appropriately based on the current requirements of your project to avoid overheating or damage. Potential Uses: Wiring battery power boxes or DIY power systems Automotive, RV, or marine electrical projects Solar panel or off-grid power setups Ham radio or portable electronics wiring LED lighting and audio equipment wiring Hobby electronics and custom projects Key Features: 12 AWG stranded tinned copper for excellent conductivity Silicone insulation for extreme flexibility and heat resistance 10 ft red and 10 ft black for positive/negative wiring High-quality, durable construction for long-lasting use Flexible enough to route through tight spaces without kinking Resistant to high temperatures, abrasion, and bending Disclaimer: This review reflects my personal experience only and is not professional electrical advice. Always follow proper safety procedures and ensure your wire is properly sized for your application’s voltage and current requirements.

I just can't say enough good about this wire! It's really high quality stuff, so much so that I was impressed enough to write another review and buy more! Yeah it's really that good considering you don't see this type of wire around much. Good stuff!

Top notch quality copper and cold flexibility.
Size: 12 silicone wire red 10ft and black 10ft, Color: silicone wire red and black
This is what you need for most 13.8 Volt power pigtails on portable ham radios. They will safely handle over 200 watts in most applications and the wire is flexible in the cold. I have set it outside as a reality check when it was 18.3F degrees and it flexes essentially the same as at room temperature. The copper itself is very fine strands and will likely never fail from normal use flexing. It solders easily with my 40 watt soldering iron. I will not hesitate to buy more if I need it.

Excellent wire! Flexible and easy to solder.
Size: 12 silicone wire red 10ft and black 10ft, Color: silicone wire red and black
This wire is great! I echo the other reviews indicating that the insulation and wire are very flexible and easy to solder. I have had wire that makes you question your ability to solder. Then there is wire like this that makes it so easy!
