Reviews
"In her magnificently achieved book in which narrative verisimilitude compensates history's indifference to the un-white, the poor, and the female, Adele Logan Alexander spins a multi-generational family saga of stunning interracial complexity, remarkable cosmopolitanism, and heart-rending injustice. Looming over their lives was slavery's aftermath, the nemesis ultimately fatal to Alexander's indomitably modern Princess."--David Levering Lewis, author of W. E. B. Du Bois , recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography and the Bancroft Prize in History "If you combine the pleasures of a seductive novel, discovering a real American heroine, and learning the multiracial history of this country that wasn't in our textbooks, you will have an idea of the great gift that Adele Logan Alexander has given us in Princess of the Hither Isles. By writing about her own grandmother, she helps us discover our own country."--Gloria Steinem "There is a beauty in reading Adele Logan Alexander's epic biography of her grandmother that comes with knowing it is, for her, a devotional act, not to romanticize the past but to set out fearlessly to unearth - and touch - its very heart. Alexander's Princess of the Hither Isles is both a definitive rendering of a life and a remarkable study of the interplay of race and gender in an America whose shadows still haunt us today."--Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard University "At the center of this extraordinary book is Adella Hunt Logan, the early 20th century suffragist, whose story has been shrouded by myth, inattention to race and gender, and the cruel ironies of biracial identity. In reconstructing her life through past generations, memoir, history, and fable come to life, Adele Alexander has given us a rich saga of family and nation."--Paula J. Giddings is the author of IDA, A Sword Among Lions: Ida B. Wells and the Campaign Against Lynching, "Absorbing."-- New Yorker "A moving memoir that deeply enriches our understanding of Adella Logan and provides nuanced, layered insights into a Black family's experiences."--Joan Marie Johnson, American Historical Review "In her magnificently achieved book in which narrative verisimilitude compensates history's indifference to the un-white, the poor, and the female, Adele Logan Alexander spins a multi-generational family saga of stunning interracial complexity, remarkable cosmopolitanism, and heart-rending injustice.

Synopsis
A compelling reconstruction of the life of a black suffragist, Adella Hunt Logan, blending family lore, historical research, and literary imagination "Both a definitive rendering of a life and a remarkable study of the interplay of race and gender in an America whose shadows still haunt us today."--Henry Louis Gates, Jr. "If you combine the pleasures of a seductive novel, discovering a real American heroine, and learning the multiracial history of this country that wasn't in our textbooks, you will have an idea of the great gift that Adele Logan Alexander has given us."--Gloria Steinem Born during the Civil War into a slaveholding family that included black, white, and Cherokee forebears, Adella Hunt Logan dedicated herself to advancing political and educational opportunities for the African American community. She taught at Alabama's Tuskegee Institute but also joined the segregated woman suffrage movement, passing for white in order to fight for the rights of people of color. Her determination--as a wife, mother, scholar, and activist --to challenge the draconian restraints of race and gender generated conflicts that precipitated her tragic demise. Historian Adele Logan Alexander--Adella Hunt Logan's granddaughter--portrays Adella, her family, and contemporaries such as Booker T. Washington, Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, Theodore Roosevelt, and W. E. B. Du Bois. Alexander bridges the chasms that frustrate efforts to document the lives of those who traditionally have been silenced, weaving together family lore, historical research, and literary imagination into a riveting, multigenerational family saga., A compelling reconstruction of the life of a black suffragist, Adella Hunt Logan, blending family lore, historical research, and literary imagination Born during the Civil War into a slaveholding family that included black, white, and Cherokee forebears, Adella Hunt Logan dedicated herself to advancing political and educational opportunities for the African American community.
