Known most prominently as a daring anti-lynching crusader, Ida B.
Wells-Barnett (1862-1931) worked tirelessly throughout her life as
a political advocate for the rights of women, minorities, and
members of the working class. Despite her significance, until the
1970s Wells-Barnett's life, career, and legacy were relegated to
the footnotes of history. Beginning with the posthumously published
autobiography edited and released by her daughter Alfreda in 1970,
a handful of biographers and historians-most notably, Patricia
Schechter, Paula Giddings, Mia Bay, Gail Bederman, and Jinx
Broussard-have begun to place the life of Wells-Barnett within the
context of the social, cultural, and political milieu of the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This edited volume seeks to
extend the discussions that they have cultivated over the last five
decades and to provide insight into the communication strategies
that the political advocate turned to throughout the course of her
life as a social justice crusader. In particular, scholars such as
Schechter, Broussard, and many more will weigh in on the full range
of communication techniques-from lecture circuits and public
relations campaigns to investigative and advocacy journalism-that
Wells-Barnett employed to combat racism and sexism and to promote
social equity; her dual career as a journalist and political
agitator; her advocacy efforts on an international, national, and
local level; her own failed political ambitions; her role as a
bridge and interloper in key social movements of the nineteenth and
twentieth century; her legacy in American culture; and her
potential to serve as a prism through which to educate others on
how to address lingering forms of oppression in the twenty-first
century.
