{"value"=>"<p>Series II documents Seraile's published academic research and lay writings through manuscripts, drafts, finished articles, research materials, correspondence, publication files, reviews of his books, and other contextual and related material.</p> <p>The articles and lectures hold some of Seraile's earliest publications as well as articles from throughout his academic career, including many topics that were not large enough for a book. These include an unpublished article on Marcus Garvey's anti-Semitic views; articles on the labor organizer Ben Fletcher, Black American missionaries in Africa, several Civil War-related topics, Black critical reaction to the Korean War, and a comparison of the views of David Walker and Malcolm X. Unless noted otherwise, all the articles and lectures are by Seraile.</p> <p>Seraile's lay articles include many he wrote for Black-interest publications, such as the newspapers <span class=\"title\">Big Red News</span>, <span class=\"title\">The City Sun</span>, and the <span class=\"title\">New York Amsterdam News</span>; and for magazines such as <span class=\"title\">Black World</span>, <span class=\"title\">Essence</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Encore</span>.</p> <p>The book reviews include both published pieces and those written for peer-review purposes only. The published reviews appear in academic and historical journals such as <span class=\"title\">The Journal of American History</span>, <span class=\"title\">Afro-Americans in New York Life and History</span>, and <span class=\"title\">The New England Quarterly</span>.</p> <p>Each of Seraile's five books has documentation here, but not all have his research files. (See the Related Materials note regarding his research files on Theophilus Gould Steward, held separately by the Schomburg Center.) The book with the most content is <span class=\"title\">Angels of Mercy: White Women and the History of New York's Colored Orphan Asylum</span>, but all the book files have correspondence regarding various aspects of Seraile's research, writing, and publication process. Manuscript drafts are present for <span class=\"title\">Angels of Mercy</span>, <span class=\"title\">Bruce Grit</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Fire in His Heart</span>.</p>"}
