Description: The Black Sojourner Press traces the travels of multiple generations of itinerant Black editors, demonstrating how they transformed Black political and literary culture in the United States, West Africa, and Britain.
Review Quotes: The Black Sojourner Press profiles a riveting cast of itinerant journalists and editors, moving among the United States, Caribbean, West Africa, and Britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Pinned between the British and US empires, these roving intellectuals fashioned the journal into a truly world literary form. This impressively researched book resituates our understanding of the 'Global Anglophone' by invoking its longer histories and its earliest theorists.--Isabel Hofmeyr, author of Gandhi's Printing Press: Experiments in Slow Reading
