Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description It is the turn of the twentieth century. Having achieved financial success in New York, Colonel French returns to his hometown of Clarendon, NC, determined to use his great wealth to bring about racial harmony through economic prosperity, in a south still reeling from the social upheaval of the Civil War. He devises schemes to bring jobs to all members of the community without regard to 'race' but underestimates the power of deepseated racism to undermine his efforts. He fails horribly and loses his most cherished loved ones in the process, perhaps because he himself could not fully dispel his own Southern values. About the Author About the AuthorCHARLES WADDELL CHESNUTT (18581932) was the first African American writer to be given serious attention by the mainstream American literary establishment. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but at eight moved with his family to their ancestral home in Fayetteville, North Carolina. There he carefully laid out a plan to achieve the American Dream of material success by writing for the 'high, holy purpose' of liberating this country from its sin of slavery. He began as a short story writer and published two volumes of short stories, The Conjure Woman (1899) and The Wife of his Youth (1899), as well as many other stories that have been only recently collected. He published three novels during his lifetime The House Behind the Cedars (1900), The Marrow of Tradition (1901), and The Colonel's Dream (1905). Chesnutt was also a lawyer and court stenographer. Though lightskinned enough to pass for white, Chesnutt was reared in an AfricanAmerican culture about which he often showed ambivalence, but which he could never entirely reject.
