"I can think of no more astute commentator on American life in the rural South in the years after the Civil War than Charles W. Chesnutt. Chesnutt's journals recreate the debilitating racism he encountered as a young man and also reveal the strength, courage, and integrity through which he became one of America's most important writers."--Cathy N. Davidson
