This unique collection portrays the early twentieth century short story writer, biographer, novelist, essayist, stenographer, and lawyer, Charles Waddell Chesnutt. Readers are shown how Chesnutt was, perhaps, the best African American literary signifier of his day. The volume opens with generous selections from his journals and published and unpublished essays, which document the writer s racial, literary, social, and economic milieu. Also included are the conjure stories, novel excerpts, selected literary criticism, photos, and a list of related web sites for further research. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

His stories exist in a post-bellum America (an America contemporary to Chesnutt), and feature "smart" white people being outwitted by "dumb" black people.
While the dialogue written as spoken is hard to follow, I found the stories to otherwise be enjoyable.
This book would be of interest to people studying black American literature, post-bellum racial ties, or even American superstitions. ( )
