En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring themes of racial identity and folklore, this collection features a frame narrative where a white northerner, John, and his wife hear stories from Julius, a former slave. Set in post-Civil War North Carolina, Julius's tales delve into haunting experiences, transfiguration, and conjuring, offering critical insights into the realities of slavery and the hypocrisy of American values. Chesnutt, an early pioneer in African American literature, crafted these narratives to challenge 19th-century perceptions while concealing his identity to ensure acceptance.
