| CHESNUTT, CHARLES W. (LEITZ, ROBERT C.; MCELRATH, JOSEPH R. JR.; CRISLER, JESSE S., EDS). Charles W. Chesnutt: Essays and Speeches Stanford, CA,, Stanford University Press. 1999. (ISBN: 0804735492) . xxxvii/596 pp. Tall octavo, cloth. A very good, clean copy in dustwrapper. The 77 works included in this volume comprise all of Chesnutt’s known works of nonfiction, 38 of which are reprinted here for the first time. They reveal an ardent and often outraged spokesman for the African American whose militancy increased to such a degree that, by 1903, he had more in common with W. E. B. Du Bois than Booker T. Washington. He was, however, a lifelong integrationist and even an advocate of "race amalgamation", seeing interracial marriage as the ultimate means of solving "the Negro Problem", as it was termed at the end of the century. That he championed the African American during the Jim Crow era while opposing Black Nationalism and other "race pride" movements attests to the way Chesnutt defined himself as a controversial figure, in his time and ours. The essays and speeches in this volume are not, however, limited to polemical writings. An educator, attorney, and man of letters with wide-ranging interests, Chesnutt stands as a humanist addressing subjects of universal interest, including the novels of George Meredith, the accomplishments of Samuel Johnson, and the relationship between literature and life.
