Charles W. Chesnutt’s 1901 novel The Marrow of Tradition is an artistic representation of the revisionist social history of colonial racism during the 1898 Wilmington riot. The novel exposes the terror of white racism in the post-Civil War years, the white’s anxiety over black retaliation, and the disillusionment with political corruptions and limitations, thus resurrecting the entire history of American slavery. Into this narrative of concrete historical turmoil are dialectically interwoven not only Chesnut’s own personal experiences but also stories of his fictional characters, sunk and sublated into a broader historical vision, in which a dialectical relationship between the specific present and the past histories of the US domestic racial relations expands to include a global synchronic history of the Spanish-American War and the contemporary world’s imperialist frenzy. In short, Chesnutt delves into a particular piece of post-Reconstruction history from dialectical and intersubjective perspectives and rewrites it as a transnational historiography.
