Summary:

"In Impermanent Blackness, Korey Garibaldi explores interracial collaborations in American commercial publishing--authors, agents, and publishers who forged partnerships across racial lines--from the 1910s to the 1960s. Garibaldi shows how aspiring and established Black authors and editors worked closely with white interlocutors to achieve publishing success, often challenging stereotypes and advancing racial pluralism in the process"--Front jacket flap.
