摘要
This essay analyzes the black female body as a source of intraracial class conflict, uncovering parallels between West's heroine, social climber Cleo Judson, and her sister, compulsive eater Charity Reid. West links the sisters by their appetites, which the black bourgeoisie sought to repress in their quest for respectability.
