The Marrow of Tradition - (Mint Editions) by Charles W Chesnutt

The Marrow of Tradition (1901) is a historical novel that masterfully dissects the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898, shedding light on the racial tensions and violence that plagued the city of Wellington.

Through the interconnected lives of two families, white supremacists and African Americans, this book provides a chilling reminder of how far we have come while also highlighting the work left to be done in improving race relations in the United States.

With its beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Marrow of Tradition is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, race, and identity.
