Synopsis
Written in 1905, this is a compelling tale of the post-Civil War South's degeneration into a region awash with virulent racist practices against African Americans: segregation, lynchings, disenfranchisement, convict-labor exploitation, and endemic violent repression. The events are powerfully depicted from the point of view of a philanthropic but unreliable southern white colonel., Charles Waddell Chesnutt (1858-1932) was an African American writer, essayist, Civil Rights activist, legal-stenography businessman, and lawyer whose novels and short stories explore race, racism, and the problematic contours of African Americans' social and cultural identities in post-Civil War South. He was the first African American to be published by a major American publishing house and served as a beacon-point for future African American writers. The Colonel's Dream , written in 1905, is a compelling tale of the post-Civil War South's degeneration into a region awash with virulent racist practices against African Americans: segregation, lynchings, disenfranchisement, convict-labor exploitation, and endemic violent repression. The events in this novel are powerfully depicted from the point of view of a philanthropic but unreliable southern white colonel. Upon his return to the South, the colonel learns to abhor this southern world, as a tale of vicious racism unfolds. Throughout this narrative, Chesnutt confronts the deteriorating position of African Americans in an increasingly hostile South. Upon its publication The Colonel's Dream was considered too controversial and unpalatable because of its bitter criticisms of southern white prejudice and northern indifference, and so this groundbreaking story failed to gain public attention and acclaim. This is the first scholarly edition of The Colonel's Dream . It includes an introduction and notes by R. J. Ellis and works to reestablish this great novel's reputation., Written in 1905, The Colonel's Dream is a compelling, bitter tale of the post-Civil War South's degeneration into a regions awash with virulent racist practices against African Americans: segregation, lynchings, disenfranchisement, convect-labor exploitation, and endemic violent repression.

    Great quality, perfect condition, worth the asking price (if not more) and looks great! The seller shipped all the patterns I purchased with great care to the packing and also ensuring it wouldn’t/couldn’t be damaged unless with malicious intent! The seller is also super fast at replying to any messages sent, and I couldn’t be more adamant when I tell you that “This Shop is Fabulous & so is the Seller!” Obviously it’s a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ recommendation from me 😉☺️

    My Seller package my Kwik Sew Pattern K4267 very well; shipped out quickly; provided excellent communication throughout the process; and it arrived in perfect condition. This pattern was in fact an uncut pattern as indicated in the listing. The Teatime Accessories (Mug Case, Tea Bag Case & Mug Cozy) patterns will make lovely gifts for my family and friends. #1 Seller.
