paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. Princeton. 1999. Princeton University Press. 1st Printing of This Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0691059969. Edited & With An Introduction and Notes by Dean McWilliams. 288 pages. paperback. Cover illustration by Cati Laporte. Cover design by Tracy Baldwin. keywords: African American Literature America. DESCRIPTION - Was Donald Glover really what he seemed - a handsome, dedicated, and clever African-American star of the Harlem Renaissance, whose looks made him the 'quarry' of a variety of women - or could the secrets of his birth change his destiny entirely? Focusing on the meaning of racial identity, this novel moves inexorably toward a surprising denouement. Although he was the first African-American writer of fiction to gain acceptance by America's white literary establishment, Charles Chesnutt (1858 - 1932) has been eclipsed in popularity by other writers who later rose to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance. Recently, this path- breaking American writer has been receiving an increasing amount of attention. Two of his novels, PAUL MARCHAND, F.M.C. (completed in 1921) and THE QUARRY (completed in 1928), were considered too incendiary to be published during Chesnutt's lifetime. Their publication now provides us not only the opportunity to read these two books previously missing from Chesnutt's oeuvre but also the chance to appreciate better the intellectual progress of this literary pioneer. Bringing to life the culture of Harlem in the 1920s, Charles Chesnutt's final novel dramatizes the political and aesthetic milieu of the exciting period we now know as the Harlem Renaissance. Mixing fact and fiction, and real and imagined characters, THE QUARRY is peopled with so many figures of the time - including Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Marcus Garvey - that it constitutes a virtual guide to this inspiring period in American history. Protagonist Glover is a light-skinned man, whose adoptive black parents are determined that he become a leader in the black community. Moving from Ohio to Tennessee, from rural Kentucky to Harlem, his story depicts not only his conflicted relationship to his heritage but also the situation of a variety of black people struggling to escape prejudice and to take advantage of new opportunities. inventory #34910.

paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. Princeton. 1999. Princeton University Press. 1st Princeton University Press Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0691059942. Edited, With An Introduction and Notes by Dean McWilliams. 192 pages. paperback. Cover: Cati Laporte. keywords: African American Literature America. DESCRIPTION - All white men are the enemies of Paul Marchand, free man of color - and he especially hates the Beaurepas family, arrogant Creoles whom he sees almost daily on the streets of New Orleans. But what happens when Marchand discovers the integral part he will be forced to play in the disturbing history of that very family? Although he was the first African-American writer of fiction to gain acceptance by America's white literary establishment, Charles Chesnutt (1858-1932) has been eclipsed in popularity by other writers who later rose to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance. Recently this path-breaking American writer has been receiving an increasing amount of attention. Two of his novels, PAUL MARCHAND, F.M.C. (completed in 1921) and THE QUARRY (completed in 1928), were considered too incendiary to he published during Chesnutt's lifetime. Their publication now provides us not only the opportunity to read these two books previously missing from Chesnutt's oeuvre but also the chance to appreciate better the intellectual progress of this literary pioneer. Paul Marchand, who lives in the multinational society of New Orleans in the l920s, is despised by white society for being a quadroon, yet he is a proud, wealthy and well-educated man. In this city where great wealth and great poverty exist side by side, the richest Creole in town is dying. Pierre Beaurepas's family eagerly and greedily awaits disposition of his wealth. As the bombshell of the old man's will explodes, Marchand is drawn inexorably into contact with Beaurepas's racist family. Bringing to life the entwined racial cultures of New Orleans society, Chesnutt not only writes an exciting tale of adventure and mystery but also makes a provocative comment on the nature of racial identity, self - worth, and family loyalty. inventory #32563.

hardcover. Condition: Good. McWilliams, Catherine (illustrator). Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
