Between the Revolution and the Civil War, African-American writing
became a prominent feature of both black protest culture and
American public life. Although denied a political voice in national
affairs, black authors produced a wide range of literature to
project their views into the public sphere. Autobiographies and
personal narratives told of slavery's horrors, newspapers railed
against racism in its various forms, and poetry, novellas,
reprinted sermons and speeches told tales of racial uplift and
redemption.
The editors examine the important and previously overlooked
pamphleteering tradition and offer new insights into how and why
the printed word became so important to black activists during this
critical period. An introduction by the editors situates the
pamphlets in their various social, economic and political contexts.
This is the first book to capture the depth of black print culture
before the Civil War by examining perhaps its most important form,
the pamphlet.
