During the decades leading up to the Civil War, the idea that God had marked black Americans as his chosen people on earth became a central article of faith in northern black communities, with black newspaper editors articulating it in their journals. Benjamin Fagan examines how the early black press helped shape the relationship between black chosenness and the struggles for black freedom and equality in America, in the process transforming the very notion of a chosen American nation. Exploring how cultures of print helped antebellum black Americans apply their faith to struggles grand and small, The Black Newspaper and the Chosen Nation uses the vast and neglected archive of the early black press to shed new light on many of the central figures and questions of African American studies."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a African American press $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African American newspapers $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Press and politics $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African Americans and mass media $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799698 650 7 $a African Americans and mass media $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799719 650 7 $a African American newspapers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799278 650 7 $a African American press. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799314 650 7 $a Press and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075866 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fagan, Benjamin P. $t Black newspaper and the chosen nation. $d Athens : The University of Georgia Press, ©2016 $z 0820349399 $w (OCoLC)951505566 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180124030114.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20170804010625.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20170422011415.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=101FE6D6272111E7BD4E6CA5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
