The Voice of Anna Julia Cooper

Including a Voice from the South and Other Important Essays, Papers, and Letters

By: Anna J. Cooper

Recently Anna Julia Cooper has emerged as the most important classic writer in the tradition of African American feminist thought. Mary Helen Washington described Cooper's work as "the most precise, forceful, well-argued statement of black feminist thought to come out of the nineteenth century." This is the first collection of all of Cooper's major writings, including many never before published. It includes all of the essays from her famous book, A Voice from the South, in addition to many other essays and letters accessible only in archives until now. The organization of this important new collection lends itself to a clearer understanding of the major themes and contributions of Cooper's thought, her development as a thinker and writer, and the critiques and controversies surrounding her work. Lemert and Bhan introduce Cooper as an activist, settlement founder, school teacher, college president, linguist, and scholar—a life that paralleled the prodigious accomplishments of W.E.B. Du Bois in so many ways.

The Portable Anna Julia Cooper

By: Shirley Moody-Turner,Henry Louis Gates

A collection of essential writings from the iconic foremother of Black women's intellectual history, feminism, and activism, who helped pave the way for modern social justice movements like Black Lives Matter and Say Her Name A Penguin Classic The Portable Anna Julia Cooper brings together, for the first time, Anna Julia Cooper's major collection of essays, A Voice from the South, along with several previously unpublished poems, plays, journalism and selected correspondences, including over thirty previously unpublished letters between Anna Julia Cooper and W. E. B. Du Bois. The Portable Anna Julia Cooper will introduce a new generation of readers to an educator, public intellectual, and community activist whose prescient insights and eloquent prose underlie some of the most important developments in modern American intellectual thought and African American social and political activism. Recognized as the iconic foremother of Black women's intellectual history and activism, Cooper (1858-1964) penned one of the most forceful and enduring statements of Black feminist thought to come of out of the nineteenth century. Attention to her work has grown exponentially over the years--her words have been memorialized in the US passport and, in 2009, she was commemorated with a US postal stamp. Cooper's writings on the centrality of Black girls and women to our larger national discourse has proved especially prescient in this moment of Black Lives Matter, Say Her Name, and the recent protests that have shaken the nation.

The connection of slavery and gender depicted by literary devices in Harriet A. Jacobs' "Incidents in the life of a slave girl". Comparison to Frederick Douglass's "Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass"

By: Anna Schmiedehausen

Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,7, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, language: English, abstract: The paper analyzes the connection of slavery and gender depicted by literary devices in Harriet A. Jacobs’ "Incidents in the life of a slave girl" compared to Frederick Douglass’s "Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass". This paper is going to examine a few examples of the language and literary devices in these narratives and how they function. In the first section of the paper the focus is on the literary depiction of slavery and gender in "Incidents in the life of a slave girl". In the second part the portrayal of these two characteristics is examined in "Narrative in the life of Frederick Douglass". In the third chapter, the attributes already mentioned are compared to each other. Finally, a conclusion follows. The literature used contains these two slave narratives by Jacobs and Douglass, as well as other writings about these narratives, literary stylistic devices, and the slave topic in general. The year 1773 was essential to the beginning of African American literature in general and also for the genre of slave narratives. By publishing her first book of poetry and being the first female black writer, Phillis Wheatley paved the way for the development of black literature. As part of this development, the genre of slave narratives emerged as well. Slave narratives are written stories of African American slaves and their personal experiences and sufferings during their time of enslavement. Their escape into freedom was often a turning point in the story. The author of these stories wrote them to depict the dehumanising and degrading effects of slavery. Furthermore, slave narratives were written especially for a white audience, since the narrators wanted to obtain that readers believed in the horrors they had to endure and to show the importance of abolishing the institution of slavery. To achieve that the narrators often used a very distinctive and vivid language in their narratives to support the imagination of their readers.
