The house behind the cedars

Originally published in 1900, this groundbreaking novel by a distinguished African American author explores the Southern obsession with race. The drama of a brother and sister who "pass for white" during the dangerous days of Reconstruction, it offers realistic, unsentimental perspectives on the role of race in 19th-century American life. -- Publisher's description
