during Jim Crow and its demise. . . . Highly
recommended."--People's World
"Horne, celebrated author of over 30 eye-opening works on class and
race history, harnesses the varied details of The Rise and Fall of
the Associated Negro Press in a style that is at once academic and
fittingly narrative. The work is thus an accessible treasure trove
of political and social involvements and insights spanning almost
all the continents. " --Publishing Research Quarterly

biography, making for a surprisingly engaging look at one of the
most iconic musicians of all time." --RoguesPortal
"Required reading for students of African-American
journalism."--Publisher's Weekly
"Horne offers media history students and scholars a compelling case
that sheds new light on a lesser-known historical figure. There is

bookshelves."--American Journalism

tumultuous times in modern African American history." --Journal of
American Ethnic History

model for writing black transnational history and for appreciating
the contradictory results of desegregation for mid-twentieth
century African American media, black freedom, and
Pan-Africanism."--Erik S. McDuffie, author of Sojourning for
Freedom: Black Women, American Communism, and the Making of Black
Left Feminism
"This brilliant and masterfully written work broadens
understandings of the vital work and historical agency of the black

political relationships forged by the Associated Negro Press and
its astute and complicated founder Claude Barnett."--Taj Frazier,
author of The East Is Black: Cold War China in the Black Radical
Imagination
