Whiteness in the Novels of Charles W. Chesnutt

"Whiteness in the Novels of Charles W. Chesnutt is the first study of focus exclusively on Chesnutt's novels. Examining the three published in Chesnutt's lifetime - The House Behind the Cedars, The Marrow of Tradition, and The Colonel's Dream - as well as his posthumously published novels, this study explores the dilemma of a black writer who wrote primarily for a white audience."--BOOK JACKET.
