Righteous Propagation African Americans and the Politics of Racial Destiny After Reconstruction

Mitchell investigates an anxious period in U.S. history when African Americans negotiated domestic relationships, forged institutions, and clashed over strategies intended to preserve themselves as a people. Notions about "racial destiny" informed African Americans' views on emigration to Liberia, imperialism, sexuality, conduct, home environments, material culture, miscegenation and nationalism. This provocative book reinterprets black protest and politics after emancipation.Mitchell, Michele is the author of 'Righteous Propagation African Americans and the Politics of Racial Destiny After Reconstruction', published 2004 under ISBN 9780807829028 and ISBN 0807829021.
