Next comes Tracy Price-Thompson's award-winning story Other People's Skin, a tale set in 1970s Louisiana, where a dark-skinned young woman must come to terms with the bigotry of her light-skinned family. New Birth, by Desiree Cooper reveals the intense roles that money, class, and skin color play in the intraracial relationship between Catherine, a wealthy, light-skinned lawyer, and Lettie, her dark-skinned house cleaner. Finally, Elizabeth Atkin's Take It Off tells the story of a biracial girl who hides her coarse, braided hair from her friends at a mixed-race university in Detroit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOther People's Skin\u003c\/i\u003e is the most innovative and varied anthology of sisterhood and unity to date.
