Mary Maillard is a documentary editor and author of A Map of Time and Blood: An Introduction to the Skinner Family Papers, 1826-1850.
"Maillard deserves our thanks for this impressive volume."--Journal
of Southern History
"A rich and fascinating portrait of Philadelphia's and Washington
D.C.'s black elite after the Civil War. Even as the letters depict
the increasingly troubled political status and economic fortunes of
the correspondents, they offer rare glimpses into private homes and
inner emotions."--Carla L. Peterson, author of Black Gotham: A
Family History of African Americans in Nineteenth-Century New York
City
"An indispensable contribution to mapping the psychic realities,
language patterns, and ideological matrix of late
nineteenth-century middle-class African American
women."--Legacy
"The black Americans highlighted in these letters refuse to make
matters of racial denigration the primary issue of their everyday
conversations, actions, and identities. Instead, the written
exchanges show African American women tending to their family and
friends not as an escape from injustice but precisely to value the
labor and lives that otherwise might be disregarded."--Journal of
Family History
