Description

Martin Robison Delany's The Condition, Elevation, Emigration, and Destiny of the Colored People offers a comprehensive examination of the social and political circumstances that confronted African Americans during the mid-19th century. Delany's work is an essential contribution to the disciplines of historiography and anthropology in that it provides insight into how African Americans negotiated a range of pressing issues including slavery, civil rights and economic freedom.

Author

Martin Robison Delany (1812–1885) was an American abolitionist, physician, journalist, and early theorist of Black nationalism. Free-born in Virginia and raised in Pennsylvania, he treated cholera when others fled, argued for African American elevation and emigration, and later served as a Union Army officer.
