This book pays respect to different embodiments of Black editors in the Atlantic world, highlighting that from North to South America to Great Britain they occupied and promoted multifaceted roles, agendas, and poieses during a transformative period in the Atlantic world, the long nineteenth century. Black people's contributions to print ventures have been constant and manifold across the Atlantic world during the past centuries. If enslavement and forced labor dictated their involvement in many instances, Black people from early on also adopted the roles of authors, contributors, subscribers, and, notably, editors of different print materials. Through careful historical analysis, this volume illuminates the diverse strategies, networks, and intellectual contributions of these editors who navigated complex social and political landscapes while advancing their communities through print culture.Black Editorship in the Early Atlantic World is essential reading for scholars and students of Black Atlantic studies, print culture history, nineteenth-century literature, journalism history, and those interested in the intellectual and cultural contributions of Black communities during a pivotal era of global transformation.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies.
