Recenzii

"First published in 1985 George Washington Williams is an exemplary, fascinating piece of scholarship. Now that it is available in paperback, many more people will become acquainted with the editor, politician and founding father of the African-American historical tradition, of which his biographer is a distinguished elder statesman." --TLS, May 7, 1999 "George Washington Williams is an invaluable contribution to American Studies, one that deserves much attention from students, lecturers, and the general public alike."--European Journal of American Culture, Vol 19, issue 1 "In the midst of many important studies of black intellectuals and the black diaspora within the West, this reprint of John Hope Franklin's sympathetic and yet critical biography of the controversial life of George Washington Williams is indeed timely. John Hope Franklin does not merely bring an important and largely ignored figure to our attention, but in exploring the historical opportunities and dilemmas for black American activist-intellectualism with warmth and a critical perspective, draws an insight into the historical emergence of Pan-Africanism and black American historiography, and contemporary understandings of the role of the intellectual within struggles for radical social transformation."--Ethnic and Racial Studies, March 2000
