查尔斯·w·切斯纳特是早期非裔美国作家中最著名、读者最多的作家之一，他发表了50多篇短篇小说、6部小说、两部戏剧、一部弗雷德里克·道格拉斯传记，以及无数的散文、诗歌、信件、日记和演讲。虽然切斯纳特肤色浅，是混血儿，但他自认为是黑人，他的作品经常大胆地带有政治色彩，公开讨论19世纪后期的种族认同和不公正问题。这本评论文集重新评估了切斯纳特的遗产，介绍了反映他小说许多方面的新学术，尤其是他复杂的叙事策略。
One of the best known and most widely read of early African American writers, Charles W. Chesnutt published more than fifty short stories, six novels, two plays, a biography of Frederick Douglass, and countless essays, poems, letters, journals, and speeches. Though he had light skin and was of mixed race, Chesnutt self-identified as a black man, and his writing was often boldly political, openly addressing problems of racial identity and injustice in the late 19th century. This collection of critical essays reevaluates the Chesnutt legacy, introducing new scholarship reflective of the many facets of his fiction, especially his sophisticated narrative strategies.
