Summary

"Heartfelt and bold, "Colored Amazons" stands confidently at the intersection of several kinds of history. Kali N. Gross has used statistics, scandal rags, and sophisticated modern studies to produce a genuinely innovative study of race and power, crime and sex, stereotypes and gender roles."--Roger Lane, author of "Roots of Violence in Black Philadelphia, 1860-1900"

Author Biography

Kali N. Gross is Assistant Professor of History and Director of Africana Studies at Drexel University
