Description
Charles W. Chesnutt wrote The House Behind the Cedars as a response to what he viewed as inadequate and inaccurate depictions of the complexity of racial relationships in the southern states of America in the media and literature of the time. He aimed to provoke serious political discussion with the novel. Oscar Micheaux made a film adaption of the book in 1927.
