Anna Julia Cooper, Visionary Black Feminist:

Born into slavery in 1858, Anna Julia Cooper was a renowned scholar, educator, and activist who called for critical consciousness and collective action on the part of all marginalized people. Rejecting notions that Cooper was an elitist duped by dominant ideologies, Vivian M. May examines Cooper's visionary politics and defiant philosophy to reveal her radical methodology of dissent. May explores Cooper's extraordinary life and writings on subjects as wide-ranging as capitalism and slavery, the Haitian revolution, Black feminism, and Pan-Africanism, showing how, across six decades of work, Cooper helped to lay the foundations of modern-day race and gender studies.

Vivian M. May is Assistant Professor of Women's Studies at Syracuse University
