The Magazine Novels of Pauline Hopkins: (Including Hagar's Daughter, Winona, and of One Blood) (Schomburg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers) (Hardcover)
The Colored American Magazine, first published in 1900, was a pioneering forum for black literary talent. Pauline Hopkins was not only a prolific contributor, but one of its powerful editorial forces. These stories reveal her commitment to fiction as a vehicle for social change, weaving themes such as white oppression, the heroism of black women, and the need for organized resistance to persecution, into the narrative formulas of popular fiction.
