Reviews

""Halverson is the preeminent scholar on Juanita Harrison, an important, increasingly well-known but under-researched African American writer. Her sensitive and deeply researched book draws on a rich body of Black feminist scholarship on archival silences to create a detailed account of a woman who worked hard to control the narratives of her life by publishing her own carefully curated account."" - Kate Dossett, author of Radical Black Theatre in the New Deal ""Halverson has produced a book that is not only scholarly and rigorous but also a joy to read, as Harrison and her world come alive on the page. Her focus on the work and experiences of a Black female writer and traveler in the last nineteenth and twentieth centuries makes an important contribution to African American and travel writing studies."" - Gary Totten, author of African American Travel Narratives from Abroad: Mobility and Cultural Work in the Age of Jim Crow
