| Abstract |
"The cacophonous intellectual tradition outlined in The Race for America spans practical emigration schemes, informal foreign policy, and theories of diaspora. Through this internationalist print culture, Black writer-activists proffered substitutes for and contestations of the "American Legend" that took root during the feverish age of Manifest Destiny. Their engagements sought to unravel its premises and reweave them into novel arrangements of political borders and racial ontologies that could underwrite new forms of community, modes of governance, and grounds for solidarity"-- Provided by publisher. |
