This remarkable biography, based on much new information, examines the life and times of one of the most prominent African-American intellectuals of the nineteenth century. Born in New York in 1819, Alexander Crummell was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, after being denied admission to Yale University and the Episcopal Seminary on purely racial grounds. In 1853, steeped in the classical tradition and modern political theory, he went to the Republic of Liberia as an Episcopal missionary, but was forced to flee to Sierra Leone in 1872, having barely survived republican Africa's first coup. He accepted a pastorate in Washington, D.C., and in 1897 founded the American Negro Academy, where the influence of his ideology was felt by W.E.B. Du Bois and future progenitors of the Garvey Movement. A pivotal nineteenth-century thinker, Crummell is essential to any understanding of twentieth-century black nationalism.

"Thanks to Moses' sterling work...[W]e will all better understand a little-known but nonetheless important figure in the history of black nationalism and nineteenth-century American political thought."--Journal of American History

Phyllis Fortunato
5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best and most important at the end of the 20th ...
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2017
Having read some of Professor Moses' other books, I feel safe in giving this book on Alexander Crummell 5 stars. Also, I have read Prof. Moses' bio of Mr. Crummell in "Creative Conflict African American Thought", Cambridge University Press, 2004, and it only made me want to know more about Mr. Crummell,: books about him, but books by him.

Professor Moses is not only a prolific writer, but, in my opinion, one of the best and most important at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries. This book will be purchased by me in February.

With kind regards,
Phyllis
