For example, "Patrick Brown's First Love" is a radical alternative to Frederick Douglass' "The Heroic Slave, " and Thomas Detter's "The Octoroon" replaces the traditionally tragic mulatto trope with a female protagonist who shocks and awes. "Love and Marriage in Early African America" also changes our ideas about the relationship between religion and politics in early African America by featuring texts from the Afro-Protestant press, that is, the publishing organizations, writers, and reading groups under the direct auspices of, or publicly associated with, Afro-Protestant churches.
