Product Description
This remarkable biography, based on much new information, examines the life and times of one of the most prominent African-American intellectuals of the nineteenth century.Born in New York in 1819, Alexander Crummell was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, after being denied admission to Yale University and the Episcopal Seminary on purely racial grounds.In 1853, steeped in the classical tradition and modern political theory, he went to the Republic of Liberia as an Episcopal missionary, but was forced to flee to Sierra Leone in 1872, having barely survived republican Africa's first coup.He accepted a pastorate in Washington, D.C., and in 1897 founded the American Negro Academy, where the influence of his ideology was felt by W.E.B. Du Bois and future progenitors of the Garvey Movement.A pivotal nineteenth-century thinker, Crummell is essential to any understanding of twentieth-century black nationalism. ... Read more

Reconsidering Wilson
Kraig effectively resuscitates Wilson, debunking the myth of him as a misty-eyed idealist and revealing him to be an effective orator who moved the public with his words. One problem with tracing cause-and-effect in the social world is that sometimes good strategy and heroic effort produce unsatisfactory results, making the effort seem a misguided failure. Kraig shows how Wilson developed a grand rhetorical strategy for capturing the public's imagination and leading a reluctant, isolationist public into the global age. After reading Kraig's book, you'll start to wonder just what is possible in the modern world. Perhaps the age of oratory is not dead, but dormant. Imagine what Wilson could have done with Pearl Harbor or 9/11. ... Read more
