Kerri K. Greenidge renders the drama of turn-of-the-century America, showing how Trotter, a Harvard graduate, a newspaperman and an activist, galvanized black working-class citizens to wield their political power despite the virulent racism of post-Reconstruction America. Situating his story in the broader history of liberal New England to “satisfying” (Casey Cep, \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e) effect, this magnificent biography will endure as the definitive account of Trotter’s life, without which we cannot begin to understand the trajectory of black radicalism in America.","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042483159280,"sku":"9781631498756","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631498756_p0.jpg?v=1763672405","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631498756","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
