Description

In this work, the author argues that gender and sexuality have always played a crucial role in the questions of black national identity. He identifies the origins of a "national" African-American literature in the founding of the Black Press in 1827 and the beginnings of a novelistic tradition in the antebellum period. Reid-Pharr shows how state conventions, churches, newspapers and novels - predominantly aimed at northeastern black communities - were integral in shaping the ideal of the black family.
