Summary

This book sits at the intersection of two historical categoriesempire and citizenshipthat scholars usually study separately. It does so with a focus on race and racialization in the lives of four outstanding women whose careers crossed national borders between 1880 and 1965. Author Patricia Schechter offers rich and fascinating portraits of Liberian missionary Amanda Berry Smith, author Gertrude Stein, feminist arts impresario and publisher Josefina Silva de Cintron, and labor activist Maida Springer. These portraits put an individual, intellectual, and female face on transnational topicsfrom missions to migration, world's fairs to unionismthat are too often recounted as male or mass phenomena.

Author Biography

Table of Contents

'Exploring the Decolonial Imaginaryis intellectually daring, deeply researched, and well executed. Schechter moves transnational history to a new level.'—Thomas Bender, professor of History, New York University'Schechter has deftly rendered the historical spaces that these four women occupied and more importantly, demonstrated why they mattered. Due to this conscientious and artful construction of contexts, her work makes it indefensible for women such as these to be left out of future studies of diaspora, citizenship, and immigration across the Atlantic world.'—Claude Clegg, professor of History, Indiana University
