Family History as Personal Narrative
Family History as Personal Narrative: Writing Black Gotham Carla L. Peterson The project I decided to undertake seemed simple enough. As a scholar of nineteenth-century African American culture in the urban North, I had become tired of all the misconceptions that surround my field.

Doers of the Word
This is a study of ten 19th-century female African-American social activists, who were engaged in both deed and word in the most important reform movements of their time.
