Förlagets beskrivning
Winner Mark Lynton History PrizeNew York Times Times Critics Top Books of 2019The award-winning biography that restores William Monroe Trotter to his essential place next to Douglass, Du Bois, and Malcom X in the pantheon of American civil rights heroes.Black Radical reclaims William Monroe Trotter (18721934) as a seminal figure whose prophetic yet ultimately tragicand all too often forgottenlife offers a link from Frederick Douglass to Black Lives Matter. Kerri K. Greenidge renders the drama of turn-of-the-century America, showing how Trotter, a Harvard graduate, a newspaperman and an activist, galvanized black working-class citizens to wield their political power despite the virulent racism of post-Reconstruction America. Situating his story in the broader history of liberal New England to satisfying (Casey Cep, The New Yorker) effect, this magnificent biography will endure as the definitive account of Trotters life, without which we cannot begin to understand the trajectory of black radicalism in America
