Opis

A fresh synthesis of the abolitionist movement and ideas in the Anglo-American world.

Recenzje

Newman's book offers a rigorous and engaging account of the movement that is digestible in a single sitting. As valuable as it is as an introductory text for readers new to the topic, its varied insights and anecdotes will also enlighten scholars more deeply invested in this history. Margot Minardi, The American Historical Review
