Everything you need to understand or teach The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris.
Zakiya Dalila Harris's The Other Black Girl offers an excoriating look at the racial dynamics within the literary industry, exposing the fraught realities faced by people of color as they attempt to make space for themselves within white-dominated fields. The novel follows the story of Nella Rogers, a young editorial assistant whose position at her company, Wagner Books, becomes threatened when another Black woman named Hazel-May McCall is hired to work a similar role. Set almost entirely within the insular New York publishing scene, the novel explores themes of racism, cultural pride, allyship, capitalism, and class.
