The Brownies� Book:� Inspiring Racial Pride in African-American Children offers a descriptive analysis and interpretation of America�s first magazine for young African-Americans.Published by W.E.B. Du Bois in cooperation with Jessie Fauset and Augustus Granville Dill, the monthly hoped to foster a new African-American identity by (re)connecting �the children of the sun� with Africa, by turning them into proud Americans, and by educating them to be global citizens. The editors turned the crow into a positive symbol of blackness and provided photographs which proved that �black is beautiful� to increase the self-esteem of black youths. The magazine was a harbinger of the Harlem Renaissance and served as a creative outlet for many African-American writers and artists, among them many women.�The Brownies Book�: Inspiring Racial Pride in African-American Children 1st Edition is written by Christina Sch�ffer and published by Peter Lang Gmb H, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
