The House Behind the Cedars - (Mint Editions (Black Narratives)) by Charles W Chestnutt (Hardcover)

The House Behind the Cedars is a thought-provoking and timely novel that explores themes of identity, race, and class in the post-Civil War South.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.

The story follows John Warwick as he returns to his hometown after years of living in the city, and his sister Rena as she moves to the city to join him.

Both are mixed-race, but their ability to pass for white allows them to experience a certain amount of social mobility in the South.

However, as they navigate their new lives, they must confront the risks and challenges that come with living in a society still grappling with the aftermath of slavery and segregation.

With its exploration of complex issues and its well-developed characters, The House Behind the Cedars is a powerful and engaging read that will resonate with readers today.
