Abstract
Abstract:This essay uses a brief attack from James McCune Smith on William Howard Day, editor of The Aliened American (1853–55), to recover, partially, The Aliened’s history and to meditate on questions of gender and pseudonymity in Black periodicals. The moment serves as an entrée into a larger printscape of aesthetic play and unwritten codes of social experiences that twenty-first-century readers might find reminiscent of modern social media.
期刊介绍：
As the official publication of the Division on Black American Literature and Culture of the Modern Language Association, the quarterly journal African American Review promotes a lively exchange among writers and scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who hold diverse perspectives on African American literature and culture. Between 1967 and 1976, the journal appeared under the title Negro American Literature Forum and for the next fifteen years was titled Black American Literature Forum. In 1992, African American Review changed its name for a third time and expanded its mission to include the study of a broader array of cultural formations.
