"The introduction, "We Should Do More, and Talk Less," offers a biographical overview of Mary Ann Shadd Cary. It describes the historical context that informed her writings and activism, and charts her ideological shifts throughout the nineteenth century. In so doing, it devotes particular attention to the ways that slavery, abolition, the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, and Reconstruction influenced Shadd Cary's intellectual thought. "We Should Do More, and Talk Less" discusses the gendered controversies and personal financial challenges that Shadd Cary experienced during the 1850s while she edited her newspaper, the Provincial Freeman, and managed a school. The introduction explains how Shadd Cary understood three central themes: racial uplift, women's rights, and emigration. It also defines a key concept, the Black radical ethic of care, in its examination of nineteenth-century Black radicalism"-- Provided by publisher. . |
