Reviews

  • Thanks to this much-awaited edition with its excellent introduction, Anna Julia Cooper will no longer be merely a citation in the indices of works on women and people of color. As their title aptly announces, Esme Bhan and Charles Lemert have retrieved for us The Voice of Anna Julia Cooper.

    David Levering Lewis, Rutgers University, historian and author of W.E.B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race, 1868-1919, winner of the Pulitzer Prize f

  • A much-needed addition to the dearth of primary sources which will illuminate one of history's most important feminist figures.

    Paula Giddings, author of When and Where I Enter: The Impact of Black Women on Race and Sex in America

  • Cooper may be the founding figure in contemporary writings bringing together race, class, and gender-the foremother of today's influential black feminist writers. This collection is a major contribution to the reconstruction of gender balance in African American history.

    Manning Marable, M. Moran Weston/Black Alumni Council Professor of African-American Studies, Columbia University

  • Writing over a fifty-year period, Cooper not only participated in the ongoing dialogue over race relations and racial uplift in the United States, but also turned a scholarly lens on the history of the slave trade and the development of the Black Atlantic. She belongs in the company of W.E.B. Du Bois.

    Carla L. Peterson, author of Doers of the Word: African American Women Speakers and Writers in the North (1830-1880)

  • Historians, literary critics, and general readers alike will appreciate having access to Cooper's viewpoints.

    Kathryn L. Seidel, University of Central Florida, Journal of Southern History

  • The Voice of Anna Julia Cooper is, quite simply, a fine collection. Carefully edited, it contributes greatly to the study of the history of this country.

    Cally L. Waite, Teachers College, Columbia University, History of Education Quarterly
