Marrow Of Tradition

Marrow of Tradition

by Charles Waddell Chesnutt

Set against the backdrop of the 1898 Wilmington, North Carolina massacre, The Marrow of Tradition is a powerful and unflinching exploration of the deep-seated racism that permeated the South during the post-Reconstruction era. Charles W. Chesnutt delves into the complex interplay of miscegenation, caste, gender, and the ideology of white supremacy, exposing the insidious ways in which these forces shaped Jim Crow laws and fueled the horrors of mob lynchings. Through its unflinching portrayal of racial violence and injustice, The Marrow of Tradition remains a sobering and essential read for understanding the legacy of racism in America.
