Until now, Dunbar-Nelson has largely been viewed only in relation to her abusive ex-husband, the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. This is the first book-length look at this major figure in Black women's history, covering her life from the post-reconstruction era through the Harlem Renaissance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTara T. Green builds on Black feminist, sexuality, historical and cultural studies to create a literary biography that examines Dunbar-Nelson's life and legacy as a respectable activist - a woman who navigated complex challenges associated with resisting racism and sexism, and who defined her sexual identity and sexual agency within the confines of respectability politics. It's a book about the past, but it's also a book about the present that nods to the future.","brand":"Green, Tara T","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42324201472185,"sku":"9781501382307","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/green-tara-t-tara-t-green-love-activism-and-the-respectable-life-of-alice-dunbar-nelson-2022-paperback-9781501382307-60030390206803.jpg?v=1731479351","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/love-activism-and-the-respectable-life-of-alice-dunbar-nelson-tpb-w9","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
