This project will seek to look at the Harlem Renaissance\u2019s<\/a> hidden figure, Jessie Fauset<\/a>. Jessie Fauset was born to an A.M.E.<\/a> minister and his wife as one of ten children in Camden County, New Jersey<\/a> and raised in Philadelphia<\/a>. From there she got her college degree and began teaching all over the country. She has written four novels, There is Confusion<\/em><\/a>, Plum Bun<\/em><\/a>, The Chinaberry Tree<\/em>, and Comedy: American Style<\/em><\/a>, all of which I have read this summer. Each novel focuses on the early twentieth century black family. I will be analyzing these novels under the four themes of passing<\/a>, acceptance, romance, and Paris<\/a>\/escape. I will also be mapping the characters in the novel on a QGIS <\/a>system in order to indicate where the majority of the novel takes place and to see if certain characters have more movement than others. I will finally map Jessie Fauset\u2019s life in order to see if her life parallels with the lives of her characters. Mapping consists of a close reading of the novel, identifying locations in the book, creating an [Microsoft] Excel<\/a> spreadsheet, and plotting the spreadsheet onto an online map on QGIS.<\/p>\n
