| Abstract | "A landmark in the history of African-American fiction, this gripping 1901 novel was among the first literary challenges to racial stereotypes. Its tragic history of two families unfolds against the backdrop of the post-Reconstruction South, in the shadow of segregation ... The Marrow of Tradition climaxes with a race riot, based on an actual 1898 incident in Wilmington, North Carolina, that was engineered by white supremacist forces and an inflammatory press."--Back cover. |
