FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Henry McNeal Turner (1834–1915) was a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of Americas earliest Black activists and social reformers, and an outspoken proponent of emigration. In The Speeches of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner: The Press, the Platform, and the Pulpit, Andre E. Johnson has compiled selected political speeches, sermons, lectures, and religious addresses delivered by Turner in their original form. Alongside Turners oratory, Johnson places the speeches in their historical context and traces his influence on Black social movements in the twentieth century, from W. E. B. Du Boiss idea of cultural nationalism to Marcus Garveys "Back to Africa" movement, the modern-day civil rights movement, the Black Power movement, James Cones Black liberation theology, and more. While Turner was widely known as a great orator and published copious articles, essays, and editorials, no single collection of only Turners speeches has yet been published, and scholars have largely ignored his legacy. This volume recovers a lost voice within American and African American rhetorical history, expanding the canon of the African American oratorical tradition. Author Biography Andre E. Johnson is associate professor of rhetoric and media studies and scholar in residence at the Benjamin L. Hooks Institute for Social Change at the University of Memphis. He is author of No Future in This Country: The Prophetic Pessimism of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, published by University Press of Mississippi. Review Johnson has performed a great service with this important collection. The Speeches of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner will introduce students and scholars alike to the depths of Turners oratory and perspectives. By the end of this volume, one is left wondering why Turner is not much more well known for his lifetime spent thinking, speaking, and agitating amid the rise and fall of movements for racial justice and civil rights in the United States. It is, perhaps, a sign of how much work we have left in Black intellectual history.--Jim Casey "Journal of Southern History"In The Speeches of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner: The Press, the Platform, and the Pulpit, Andre E. Johnson recovers the voice of a politician, citizen, minister, and orator in American history whose contribution as a thought leader in the post-Civil War and Reconstruction period has been overlooked and eclipsed. Turners voice is exceptionally relevant to our current racial landscape.--Cynthia P.
