Chesnutt could have passed as white but chose to identify himself as black. An intellectual and activist involved with the NAACP who engaged in debate with Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois, he wrote fiction and essays that addressed issues as various as segregation, class among both blacks and whites, Southern nostalgia, and the Wilmington coup d'eÌtat of 1898. The portrayals of race, racial violence, and stereotyping in Chesnutt's works challenge teachers and students to contend with literature as both a social and an ethical practice. In part 1 of this volume, "Materials," the editors survey the critical reception of Chesnutt's works in his lifetime and after, along with the biographical, critical, and archival texts available to teachers and students. The essays in part 2, "Approaches," address such topics in teaching Chesnutt as his use of dialect, the role of intertextuality and genre in his writing, irony, and his treatment of race, economics, and social justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Chesnutt, Charles W. $q (Charles Waddell), $d 1858-1932 $x Study and teaching (Higher) 700 1 $a Ashton, Susanna, $d 1967- $e editor. 700 1 $a Hardwig, Bill, $e editor. 830 0 $a Approaches to teaching world literature ; $v 149. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806080133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E4CD7328370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
