Selected writings on racism and white supremacy in the South by the distinguished, New Orleans-born novelist and essayist, George Cable, edited by his granddaughter. He was notable for the realism of his portrayals of Creole life in his native New Orleans, Louisiana. He has been called "the most important southern artist working in the late 19th century", as well as "the first modern Southern writer. He also wrote articles critical of contemporary society. Due to hostility against him after two 1885 essays encouraging racial equality and opposing Jim Crow, Cable moved with his family to Northampton, Massachusetts. He lived there for the next thirty years, then moved to FL, where he died in St. Petersburg. For an example of Cable's fiction, see our listing for Grandissimes..Stapled wrappers (7 ½" x 5").
