The first book by Anna J. Cooper, A Voice From the South, presents
strong ideals supporting racial and gender equality as well as
economic progress. It’s a forward-thinking narrative that
highlights many disparities hindering the African American
community. Anna J. Cooper was an accomplished educator who used her
influence to encourage and elevate African Americans. With A Voice
From the South, she delivers a poignant analysis of the country’s
affairs as they relate to Black people, specifically Black women.
She stresses the importance of education, which she sees as a great
equalizer. Cooper considers it a necessary investment in not only
the individual but the community. She also criticizes the
depictions of African Americans in literature by some of the
day’s most popular authors. She calls for more realistic
portrayals that are both honest yet positive. Cooper provides an
unflinching critique of mainstream America as it relates to the
Black population. A Voice From the South broaches pivotal topics
such as women’s rights, segregation and the need for higher
education. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of A Voice From the South is both
modern and readable.
