Colleen O'Brien explores how authors such as Harriet Jacobs, Elizabeth Livermore, and Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda imagined the expansion of race and gender-based rights as a hemispheric affair, drawing together the United States with Africa, Cuba, and other parts of the Caribbean. Placing less familiar women writers in conversation with their more famous contemporaries--Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, and Lydia Maria Child--O'Brien traces the transnational progress of freedom through the antebellum cultural fascination with cross-racial relationships and insurrections. Her book mines a variety of sources--fiction, political rhetoric, popular journalism, race science, and biblical treatises--to reveal a common concern: a future in which romance and rebellion engender radical social and political transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47574913908887,"sku":"9780813934891","price":2979.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780813934891.webp?v=1774896671","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/race-romance-and-rebellion-literatures-of-the-americas-in-the-nineteenth-century-9780813934891","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
