Black Print Unbound explores the development of the Christian
Recorder during and just after the American Civil War. As a study
of the official African Methodist Episcopal Church newspaper (a
periodical of national reach and scope among free African
Americans), Black Print Unbound is thus at once a massive recovery
effort of a publication by African Americans for African Americans,
a consideration of the nexus of African Americanist inquiry and
print culture studies, and an intervention in the study of
literatures of the Civil War, faith communities, and periodicals.
The book pairs a longitudinal sense of the Recorder's ideological,
political, and aesthetic development with the fullest account
available of how the physical paper moved from composition to real,
traceable subscribers. It builds from this cultural and material
history to recover and analyze diverse and often unknown texts
published in the Recorder including letters, poems, and a
serialized novel-texts that were crucial to the development of
African American literature and culture and that challenge our
senses of genre, authorship, and community. In this, Black Print
Unbound offers a case study for understanding how African Americans
inserted themselves in an often-hostile American print culture in
the midst of the most complex conflict the young nation had yet
seen, and it thus calls for a significant rewriting of our senses
of African American-and so American-literary history.
