Stories of the Color Line

Book : Unabridged Start Publishing LLC

by Charles Waddell Chestnutt

Genres: African American Historical

Synopsis

Chesnutt's stories were more complex than those of many of his contemporaries. He wrote about characters dealing with difficult issues of mixed race, "passing," illegitimacy, racial identities, and social place throughout his career. The issues were especially pressing during the social volatility of Reconstruction and late 19th-century southern society.
