The Magazine Novels of Pauline Hopkins (The Schomburg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers)

by Pauline E. Hopkins

Hazel V. Carby (Introduction)

The Colored American Magazine, first published in 1900, was a pioneering forum for black literary talent. Pauline Hopkins was not only a prolific contributor, but one of its powerful editorial forces. These stories reveal her commitment to fiction as a vehicle for social change, weaving themes such as white oppression, the heroism of black women, and the need for organized resistance to persecution, into the narrative formulas of popular
fiction.
