This book was released on 2002-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first volumes of the Schomburg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers first appeared in 1988, critics and scholars applauded the publishing venture as historic. Oxford University Press, in collaboration with the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, was credited with rescuing the voice of an entire segment of the black tradition. In all, forty volumes of compelling and rare works of fiction, poetry, autobiography, biography, essays, and journalism by nineteenth-century African-American women were published, each containing an introduction written by an expert in the field, as well as an overview by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the General Editor. Many of the volumes have since become unavailable--until now. Oxford is making available again all 40 volumes and, for the first time, is offering the complete clothbound set for a specially reduced price.

Download or read book Collected Black Women s Poetry Volume 2 written by Joan R. Sherman and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 1988-07-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes present the works of eleven poets writing in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Volume 1 contains work by Mary E. Tucker Lambert and the notorious Adah Isaacs Menken. The other three volumes contain works by nine other poets. Surprisingly, only one of them (Lizelia Moorer) protests at the treatment of her race during this period of social upheaval and injustice. The other poets treat the traditional themes - love, nature, death, Christian idealism and morality, family - in conventional forms and language. As interesting for the themes that they address as for those that they ignore, these selections offer a unique sampling of poetic voices that until now have gone largely unheard.

Download or read book A Voice From the South written by Anna Julia Cooper and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1988-04-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered one of the original texts foretelling the Black feminist movement, this collection of essays, first published in 1892, offers an unparalleled view into the thought of Black women writers in nineteenth-century America. A leading Black spokeswoman of her time, Anna Julia Cooper came of age during a conservative wave in the Black community, a time when men completely dominated African-American intellectual and political ideas. In these essays, Cooper criticizes Black men for securing higher education for themselves through the ministry, while erecting roadblocks to deny women access to those same opportunities, and denounces the elitism and provinciality of the White women's movement. Passionately committed to women's independence, Cooper espoused higher education as the essential key to ending women's physical, emotional, and economic dependence on men.
