Summary
John Walden, a young black man, decides to pass for white in post-Civil War North Carolina in order to achieve the American dream.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The House Behind the Cedars, which many consider Charles Chesnuttâs ï¬nest novel, tells of John and Lena Walden, mulatto siblings who pass for white in the postbellum American South. The drama that unfolds as they travel between black and white worlds constitutes a riveting portrait of the shifting and intractable nature of race in American life. This edition revitalizes a much-neglected masterpiece by one of our most important African-American writers. As Werner Sollors writes, âWilliam Dean Howells did not overstate his case when he compared Chesnuttâs works with those by Turgenev, Maupassant, and James . . . and [Chesnutt] has become one of the most important âcrossoverâ authors from the African-American tradition.â
