SUMMARY:Ann Plato of Hartford: Pioneering Black Writer
DESCRIPTION:Stranger in a Strange Land:  Ann Plato’s Strategy for Autonomy as Evidenced in Essays; Including Biographies and Miscellaneous Pieces\, in Prose and PoetryJoin Antoinette Brim-Bell for a fascinating discussion about Ann Plato\, who in 1841 became the fist African American writer to publish a collection of essays.  When scrutinized through a white canonical literary lens or juxtaposed with accepted African American authors\, her work is generally criticized for being derivative and of “little literary merit\,” rendering Plato a footnote in history. This presentation will explore Ann Plato’s literature against this assessment\, situating the publication of essays as a treatise that strategically optimizes the author’s opportunity for social and physical mobility.    \nThis Hartford History Series event is produced in collaboration with Capital Community College.
