Book Overview

""Not A Man, And Yet A Man"" is a book written by Albery Allson Whitman and published in 1877. The book is a collection of poems that explore the experiences and perspectives of African American women in the late 19th century. The title of the book is taken from one of the poems, which describes the paradoxical position of black women in society - they are not fully recognized as men, and yet they are not fully recognized as women either. The poems in the book touch on themes such as love, motherhood, spirituality, and the struggle for freedom and equality. Whitman's writing is characterized by its emotional intensity, its use of vivid imagery, and its celebration of the resilience and strength of black women. Overall, ""Not A Man, And Yet A Man"" is a powerful and important work of African American literature that sheds light on the experiences of a marginalized group during a pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
