This outstanding, affordable volume presents a selection of the best of both conjure and color line tales. Ten stories include \"The Goophered Grapevine,\" widely considered Chesnutt's best work, \"Po' Sandy,\" \"Sis' Becky's Pickaninny,\" \"The Doll,\" \"The Wife of His Youth,\" \"Dave's Neckliss,\" \"The Passing of Grandison,\" \"A Matter of Principle, \"The Sheriff's Children,\" and a wry look at the American intelligentsia, \"Baxter's Procrustes. \"Brimming with wit, charm, and insight, these stories testify to the qualities that have earned Chesnutt an enduring place in American literature and have made his fiction required reading for scholars and students of African-American history and culture. This edition features an informative Introduction by African-American literature expert Joan Sherman that provides valuable background information on Chesnutt and his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486404264\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.9 x 5.0 x 0.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50212701864240,"sku":"Trans_9780486404264","price":282.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81vZiJENMzL.jpg?v=1760338104","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/tales-of-conjure-and-the-color-line-10-stories-thrift-editions","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
