"Activist Sentiments" takes as its subject women who in fewer than
fifty years moved from near literary invisibility to prolific
productivity. Grounded in primary research and paying close
attention to the historical archive, this book offers
against-the-grain readings of the literary and activist work of
Harriet Jacobs, Harriet Wilson, Frances E. W. Harper, Victoria
Earle Matthews and Amelia E. Johnson. Part literary criticism and
part cultural history, "Activist Sentiments" examines
nineteenth-century social, political, and representational
literacies and reading practices. P. Gabrielle Foreman reveals how
Black women's complex and confrontational commentary-often
expressed directly in their journalistic prose and organizational
involvement--emerges in their sentimental, and simultaneously
political, literary production.
