Black and White Strangers: Race and American Literary Realism

In a major contribution to the study of race in American literature, Kenneth W. Warren argues that late-nineteenth-century literary realism was shaped by and in turn helped to shape post-Civil War racial politics. Taking up a variety of novelists, including Henry James and William Dean Howells, he shows that even works not directly concerned with race were instrumental in the return after reconstruction to a racially segregated society.Warren, Kenneth W. is the author of 'Black and White Strangers: Race and American Literary Realism', published 1993 under ISBN 9780226873848 and ISBN 0226873846.
