This remarkable biography, based on much new information, examines
the life and times of one of the most prominent African-American
intellectuals of the nineteenth century. Born in New York in 1819,
Alexander Crummell was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge,
after being denied admission to Yale University and the Episcopal
Seminary on purely racial grounds. In 1853, steeped in the
classical tradition and modern political theory, he went to the
Republic of Liberia as an Episcopal missionary, but was forced to
flee to Sierra Leone in 1872, having barely survived republican
Africa's first coup. He accepted a pastorate in Washington, D.C.,
and in 1897 founded the American Negro Academy, where the influence
of his ideology was felt by W.E.B. Du Bois and future progenitors
of the Garvey Movement. A pivotal nineteenth-century thinker,
Crummell is essential to any understanding of twentieth-century
black nationalism.
