Abstract

Minority studies and textual scholarship have much to offer each other. Minority literature can offer textual scholarship both wonderful opportunities for editing and situations that deepen or extend our ability to historicize texts. Conversely, textual scholarship can call attention to the importance of versions and of material features of minority texts, can highlight their relation to social issues in a new way, and can contribute to their migration to electronic forms. This address explores those questions through examination of Abraham Cahan's The Rise of David Levinsky, W. E. B. Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk, Alain Locke's anthology The New Negro and new edition of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.
