Reviews

""[Radical Advocate] is carefully researched, providing thorough historical context for Wells as an activist and rhetor, and the assertions are supported with compelling textual evidence drawn from Wells's speeches, essays, and pamphlets."" --Robert E. Terrill, author of Double-Consciousness and the Rhetoric of Barack Obama: The Price and Promise of Citizenship ""This is a well-written and timely book! Radical Advocate makes an important contribution not only by diving into Wells's rhetoric, but by carefully placing Wells in conversation with contemporary theorists of race, from scholars like Joe Feagin to bell hooks and beyond."" --Tasha N. Dubriwny, author of The Vulnerable Empowered Woman: Feminism, Postfeminism, and Women's Health
