Full book description from publisher:
The history of the phrase “pride and prejudice” before it became the title of Jane Austen’s most famous novel is largely forgotten today. In particular, most of the reading public is unaware that “pride and prejudice” was a traditional critique adopted by British and American antislavery writers. After Austen’s lifetime, the antislavery associations intensified, especially in America.
This is the only book about the tradition and the many newly discovered uses of “pride and prejudice” before and after Austen’s popular novel. Hundreds of examples in an annotated list show the phrase used to uphold independence—independent judgment, independent ethical behavior, independence that repudiated all forms of oppression. The book demonstrates how, in a natural evolution, the phrase was used to criticize enslavement and the slave trade. Eighteenth-century revolutionary Thomas Paine used it in Common Sense, and nineteenth-century abolitionist Frederick Douglass used it throughout his lifetime. Choosing her title for these resonances, Austen supported independent reason, reinforced writing by women, and opposed enslavement.

In the years since, Irene has cultivated a multidisciplinary conceptual practice, working at the intersection of print media, papermaking, installation, storytelling performance, and book arts. Her recent work stretches the physicality of the book form while exploring popular culture, racial stereotypes, autobiography, and oral history. 

Irene Chan has self-published 29 limited-edition artist books as Ch’An Press and has exhibited and performed her work at over 76 venues in the last 10 years.
