Unlike the popular “Uncle Remus<\/a>” stories of Joel Chandler Harris<\/a>, Charles W. Chesnutt’s tales probe psychological depths in black people unheard of before in Southern regional writing. They also expose the anguish of mixed-race men and women and the consequences of racial hatred, mob violence, and moral compromise.<\/p>\n

This important collection contains all the stories in his two published volumes, The Conjure Woman<\/em> and The Wife of His Youth<\/em>, along with two uncollected works: the tragic “Dave’s Neckliss” and “Baxter’s Procustes,” Chesnutt’s parting shot at prejudice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
