Very Good in Wraps: shows indications of light use: barely discernible spine lean; light wear to extremities; mild rubbing to wrapper covers; careful tape-repair at head of back-strip; former bookseller's rubber-stamped seal at front endpaper; binding secure; text clean. No longer 'As New', but remains clean, sturdy, and quite presentable. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 294pp. Foreward by William L. Andrews. University Press Paperback. Chestnut's depiction of a struggling family with mixed blood in the reconstructionist south is brilliant. He presents the story of a young man with African blood who, because of his lighter skin and more anglo-features, is able to pass into a bigoted society and become a successful lawyer. His attempt to bring his beautiful sister (who shares his anonymous features) into white society ends in tragedy, and portrays a poignant message about deceit, bigotry, and the belief that love conquers all and transcends all boundaries. A great interesting read for all audiences, and a must read for transgendered persons who want to know that others have suffered the same fate as they are struggling--to assimilate into a biased society. I highly recommend this book, and predict that it will rise to become a classic literary masterpiece in the not so distant future., University of Georgia Press, 1988.<

In "The House Behind the Cedars," a novel about two African Americans who pass for white in post-Civil War North Carolina, Charles W. Chesnutt introduces a striking new hero in American fiction of the color line: John Walden, a young black man who decides to pass for white in order to earn what he feels is his rightful share of the American dream. Without sentimentality, Chesnutt's novel probes deeper than any before it into the white South's obsessions with race and privilege and still stands as one of the most authoritative and important explorations of miscegenation in all of American literature. african american,african-american studies,children's,children's books,classics,contemporary,criticism and theory,discrimination and racism,fiction,history Race Relations, University of Georgia Press<
