Review:
"[A]n exemplary, fascinating piece of scholarship. . . ."
--Brian Ward, "Times Literary Supplement"
"[A]n invaluable contribution to American Studies. . . ."
--Saer Maty Ba, "European Journal of American Culture"
"[A]n informative and fascinating story of a 'brilliant though flawed individual' whose "History of the Negro Race in America" remains a landmark in African American history."
--Sage Race Relations Abstracts
"[T]his reprint of John Hope Franklin's sympathetic and yet critical biography of the controversial life of George Washington Williams is indeed timely. . . . [It] is an important and engaging book. Franklin does not merely bring an important and largely ignored figure to our attention, but in exploring the historical opportunities and dilemmas for black American activist-intellectualism with warmth and a critical perspective, draws an insight into the historical emergence of Pan-Africanism and black American historiography, and contemporary understandings of the role of the intellectual within struggles for radical social transformation."
--Brett St. Louis, "Ethnic and Racial Studies"
"In the historiography of African Americans, Williams stands not only as a pioneer, but as an author whose work has held its value. The conjunction of these two giants makes Franklin on Williams a work of enduring worth."--Nell Irvin Painter, author of Sojourner Truth: A Life, A Symbol
