| Abstract | "Introducing readers to a fascinating trove of serial fiction published in 1920s Black newspapers, this book upends the prevailing view of the Renaissance as a strictly cultural phenomenon. Instead, Martha Patterson shows newspaper fiction's deep investment in sociopolitical debates over drinking, interracial marriage, and anti-lynching activism"-- Provided by publisher. |
