Afro-American Jeremiad

By David Howard-Pitney

Book Overview

The Afro-American jeremiad has been a leading feature of black protest rhetoric from the antebellum through the modern civil rights era. After demonstrating how Douglass used this tradition before, during, and after the Civil War, this title contrasts Washington's emphasis on black self-help with Ida B Wells's insistence upon white reform.
