Reception

edit

The Negro and Fusion Politics in North Carolina, 1894–1901 was called a seminal work by historians Jeffrey Crow and Robert Durden.[1] A review in The Journal of Negro History wrote "Miss Edmonds has pointed the way in her penetrating study of the brief survival of effective participation by Negroes in the politics of one of the less backward and underdeveloped Southern states at the end of the last century."[2]

It also generated criticism.[3]

The Negro and Fusion Politics has also been reviewed by The Journal of Politics,[4] and The North Carolina Historical Review.[5]
