 Heath Anthology of American LiteratureAliceĀ Dunbar-Nelson - Author Page
The most striking feature of Alice Dunbar-Nelson's work is the way that it contrives to treat serious, even radical, social concerns while adhering on the surface to conventional forms and modes of expression.
For her as for many other African American writers of her generation, race was a particularly vexed (and vexing) issue—one which she skillfully elided in her life and writings.
She headed the 1922 Delaware Anti-Lynching Crusaders and, with her husband Robert J. Nelson (whom she married in 1916), co-edited and published the Wilmington Advocate, a newspaper that challenged vested racist and capitalist interests.
