Black Print and Organizing in the Long Nineteenth Century, a new series from University of Pennsylvania Press, contributes to our understanding of Black political, intellectual, and cultural life at the heart of collective movements for social justice within the United States and its larger orbit.

Seeking monographs and edited collections that offer new and innovative studies of Black print culture, social movements, and Black organizing collectives, this series is tells fuller stories about the actors, ideas, and actions that have influenced the theories and practices of Black freedom struggles and their dissemination across generations.

We support and solicit projects in under-examined areas—especially those that examine the role of Black women in nineteenth-century print and activism and that center Black circuits of early exchange, influence, and institution building.
