Undaunted Radical: The Selected Writings and Speeches of Albion W. Tourgee Unknown - 2010
by Tourgee, Albion Winegar, and Elliott, Mark (Editor), and Smith, John David (Editor)
From the jacket flap
A leading proponent of racial equality in the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century, Albion W. Tourgée (1838-1905) served as the most articulate spokesman of the radical wing of the Republican party, and he continued to advocate for its egalitarian ideals long after Reconstruction ended. Undaunted Radical presents Tourgée's most significant letters, speeches, and essays from the commencement of Radical Reconstruction through the bleak days of the era of Jim Crow.
Although now often overlooked, Tourgée offered a prominent voice of reason amid the segregation, disenfranchisement, lynching, racial propaganda, and mythologies about African Americans that haunted Reconstruction-era society and Gilded Age politics. These thirty-four documents elaborate the reformer's opinions on the Reconstruction Amendments, his generation's racial and economic theories, the cultural politics of North-South reconciliation, the ethics of corporate capitalism, the Social Gospel movement, and the philosophical underpinnings of American democratic citizenship. Mark Elliott and John David Smith also include the previously unpublished oral arguments Tourgee delivered before the U.S. Supreme Court as Homer Plessy's lead attorney in Plessy v. Ferguson, an overview of Tourgée's life, and an exhaustive bibliography of Tourgée's writings and related works, providing an essential collection for anyone studying Reconstruction and the early civil rights movement.
