Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: As New. First Thus. A real nice clean unmarked 156 page first edition Odins Library Classics softcover printed in 2019. This story is a fictional account of the rise of the white supremacist movement, specifically as it contributed to the race riots that took place in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1898. Critics argue over what would be a more proper term; some favor massacre while a North Carolina state commission ruled that it was a coup d'etat, the only overthrow of a legitimately elected government in United States history. Whites attacked and killed blacks in the city and overthrew the county government, establishing white supremacists in power. Chesnutt anticipated the book would become lodged in the popular mind as the legitimate successor of Uncle Tom's Cabin. as depicting an era in our national history. Size: 9h x 5 1/2w. Book.

Chesnutt broke new ground in American literature w/ searching explorations of the meaning of race & innovative use of African-American speech & folklore. Rejecting genteel Victorian hypocrisy about miscegenation, lynching, & "passing", Chesnutt exposed the deformed logic of Jim Crow w/ novels & stories of formal clarity: creating, in the process, the modern African American novel. Here is the best of Chesnutt's work in the largest & most comprehensive edition ever published, presenting for the first time the full range of his achievement as a writer & social critic. "The Conjure Woman" (1899) introduced Chesnutt to the public as a writer of "conjure" tales, stories that explore black folklore & supernaturalism. That same year, he published "The Wife of His Youth, and Other Stories of the Color Line", stories set in Chesnutt's native North Carolina that dramatize the legacies of slavery & Reconstruction at the turn of the century. His first novel, "The House Behind the Cedars" (1900) tells, as no previous novel ever had, of racial passing. "The Marrow of Tradition" (1901), Chesnutt's masterpiece, is a powerful & bitter novel about the harsh reassertion of white dominance in a southern town at the end of the Reconstruction era, based largely on the Wilmington race riot. Nine uncollected short stories, including conjure tales omitted from "The Conjure Woman", round out a selection of the author's fiction. Eight essays highlight Chesnutt's prescient views on the paradoxes of race relations in America & the definition of race itself. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: WERNER SOLLORS teaches Afro-American Studies & English at Harvard University. His most recent book is "Neither Black Nor White Yet Both: Thematic Explorations of Interracial Literature". * ABOUT LIBRARY OF AMERICA: Library of America is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, & keeping permanently in print, America's best & most significant writing.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition 1st Printing. 329p. Original orange cloth lettered in cloth. Covers soiled; dampsatin to top right of front cover; some rubbing to title lettering on spine. Rear inner hinge cracked and neatly repaired with archival materials; binding firm and tight. Circular stain to outer margin of first four leaves which includes the title page. Interior generally clean with a few scattered smudges to pages. A used and mildly worn hardcover book in no more than good condition. Chesnutt's controversial fifth book. Chesnutt (1858-1932) was a white Ohio novelist who wrote of the struggles of Black Americans in his era. His earlier fiction had an Uncle Remus lfavor which made them popular with the reading public; in THE MARROW OF TRADITION, however, his writing was more bitter and overly political, alienating and offending his readers. The novel is set amidst the 1898 Wilimington Race Riots and deals with lynching, racial miscegenation, and other sensitive issues. This work sold poorly and more or less ended Chesnutt's literary career. Chesnutt continued his interest in racial equality and became a prominent member of the NAACP.
