Charles W. Chesnutt • The Marrow of Tradition

Reproduction of the original
Charles W. Chesnutt's "The Marrow of Tradition" is a novel deeply rooted in the historical context of the 1898 Wilmington, North Carolina, race riot, depicting the brutal overthrow of a biracial government. It meticulously examines the intricate and often fraught relationships between white and Black characters within a society defined by racial hierarchy and oppression. The narrative serves as a sharp critique of the "New South" rhetoric, exposing the fallacy of its promises of progress and equality. The story intertwines the destinies of two families, the affluent white Carterets and the mixed-race Millers, revealing the profound interconnectedness of their lives amidst racial turmoil. Ultimately, the novel provides a harrowing and unflinching portrayal of the devastating consequences of racial violence, both on individuals and the broader social fabric.
