| Description: |
A story about the struggles of black and white half-sisters, written by the author of "The Conjure Woman", "The Wife of His Youth", "The House Behind the Cedars" and "The Colonel's Daughter". |
| Synopsis: |
One of the most significant novels in American literature, "The Marrow of Tradition" is based on the Wilmington, North Carolina, Massacre of 1898. Called a "race riot" by the inflammatory Southern press and engineered by white Democrats who had seen their political slip into the hands of Republicans, many of whom were black, it was in fact a coup that restored power to the Democrats by subverting the principles of free democratic election. Some of Charles Chestnutt's relatives lived through the violence, and their accounts inspired this powerful and passionate novel. |
