New People by Danzy Senna
A sharp, intimate novel about a young interracial couple who try to build a life inside a liberal, predominantly white social world and find their relationship and identities tested by everyday racial tensions, conflicting loyalties, and the uneasy compromises of upward mobility; as flirtations with a newly defined ‘belonging’ reveal hypocrisies in both their private choices and the progressive circles they inhabit, the story probes how desire, race, class, and the wish to be seen shape the couple’s sense of self and the limits of idealism.
