Book Synopsis Abolitionists Abroad by : Lamin Sanneh
Download or read book Abolitionists Abroad written by Lamin Sanneh and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1792, nearly 1,200 freed American slaves crossed the Atlantic and established themselves in Freetown, West Africa, a community dedicated to anti-slavery and opposed to the African chieftain hierarchy that was tied to slavery. Thus began an unprecedented movement with critical long-term effects on the evolution of social, religious, and political institutions in modern Africa. Lamin Sanneh's engrossing book narrates the story of freed slaves who led efforts to abolish the slave trade by attacking its base operation: the capture and sale of people by African chiefs. Sanneh's protagonists set out to establish in West Africa colonies founded on equal rights and opportunity for personal enterprise, communities that would be havens for ex-slaves and an example to the rest of Africa. Among the most striking of these leaders is the Nigerian Samuel Ajayi Crowther, a recaptured slave who joined a colony in Sierra Leone and subsequently established satellite communities in Nigeria. The ex-slave repatriates brought with them an evangelical Christianity that encouraged individual spirituality--a revolutionary vision in a land where European missionaries had long assumed they could Christianize the whole society by converting chiefs and rulers. Tracking this potent African American anti-slavery and democratizing movement through the nineteenth century, Lamin Sanneh draws a clear picture of the religious grounding of its conflict with the traditional chieftain authorities. His study recounts a crucial development in the history of West Africa.
Book Synopsis We Are the Revolutionists by : Mischa Honeck
Download or read book We Are the Revolutionists written by Mischa Honeck and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title Widely remembered as a time of heated debate over the westward expansion of slavery, the 1850s in the United States was also a period of mass immigration. As the sectional conflict escalated, discontented Europeans came in record numbers, further dividing the young republic over issues of race, nationality, and citizenship. The arrival of German-speaking “Forty-Eighters,” refugees of the failed European revolutions of 1848–49, fueled apprehensions about the nation’s future. Reaching America did not end the foreign revolutionaries’ pursuit of freedom; it merely transplanted it. In We Are the Revolutionists, Mischa Honeck offers a fresh appraisal of these exiled democrats by probing their relationship to another group of beleaguered agitators: America’s abolitionists. Honeck details how individuals from both camps joined forces in the long, dangerous battle to overthrow slavery. In Texas and in cities like Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and Boston this cooperation helped them find new sources of belonging in an Atlantic world unsettled by massive migration and revolutionary unrest. Employing previously untapped sources to write the experience of radical German émigrés into the abolitionist struggle, Honeck elucidates how these interethnic encounters affected conversations over slavery and emancipation in the United States and abroad. Forty-Eighters and abolitionists, Honeck argues, made creative use not only of their partnerships but also of their disagreements to redefine notions of freedom, equality, and humanity in a transatlantic age of racial construction and nation making.

Book Synopsis Advocates of Freedom by : Hannah-Rose Murray
Download or read book Advocates of Freedom written by Hannah-Rose Murray and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century and especially after the Civil War, scores of black abolitionists like Frederick Douglass, Moses Roper and Ellen Craft travelled to England, Ireland, Scotland, and parts of rural Wales to educate the public on slavery. By sharing their oratorical, visual, and literary testimony to transatlantic audiences, African American activists galvanised the antislavery movement, which had severe consequences for former slaveholders, pro-slavery defenders, white racists, and ignorant publics. Their journeys highlighted not only their death-defying escapes from bondage but also their desire to speak out against slavery and white supremacy on foreign soil. Hannah-Rose Murray explores the radical transatlantic journeys formerly enslaved individuals made to the British Isles, and what light they shed on our understanding of the abolitionist movement. She uncovers the reasons why activists visited certain locations, how they adapted to the local political and social climate, and what impact their activism had on British society.

Book excerpt: Frederick Douglass played one of the most extraordinary roles in American history. Born a slave, he became a leader of the abolitionist movement, whose counsel was sought by the President of his country. He remembered his mother only when she slipped at night into the slave children's hut to hold him close in her arms before being summoned to the fields. In his teens, he worked as a slave calking ships beside free men. At twenty-one, he escaped the cruelties of slavery by an evasive flight to Philadelphia, disguised as a sailor. He found sanctuary in New Bedford, Massachusetts, with his new bride, the plain, dark Anna who had the glamor of freedom, while he must be haunted through the years by the threat of capture and return to slavery. Douglass's eloquent description of life as a slave soon became the inspiration of abolitonist meetings organized by such white leaders as William Lloyd Garrison and William A. White, who would rhetorically ask the spellbound audiences, "Is this a Man or a Thing?" at rallies similar to those held on campuses today. With his autobiography a best seller at home and abroad, Douglass toured the anti-slavery meetings of the British Isles where for the first time he was accorded the respect due an honored white man. It was two English women who arranged to purchase of his freedom and another who disrupted the tranquility of his home. Publisher of The North Star and active underground agent, he became implicated in John Brown's plot that aborted at Harpers Ferry, forcing Douglass to flee abroad. On is return he pursued his campaign for the emancipation of his race. President Lincoln invited him to his inaugural reception and called him "my friend," Johnson made him Marshal of the District of Columbia, and Harrison appointed him Minister to Haiti. He bought Robert E. Lee's home and on the death of the long-suffering Anna he took a white bride to the consternation of his friends. Arna Bontemps has drawn a vivid portrait of this unique champion of the freedom of his people.

Book Synopsis Abolitionist Places by : Martha Schoolman
Download or read book Abolitionist Places written by Martha Schoolman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From David Brion Davis's The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Revolution to Paul Gilroy's The Black Atlantic, some of the most influential conceptualizations of the Atlantic World have taken the movements of individuals and transnational organizations working to advocate the abolition of slavery as their material basis. This unique, interdisciplinary collection of essays provides diverse new approaches to examining the abolitionist Atlantic. With contributions from an international roster of historians, literary scholars, and specialists in the history of art, this book provides case studies in the connections between abolitionism and material spatial practice in literature, theory, history and memory. This volume covers a wide range of topics and themes, including the circum-Atlantic itineraries of abolitionist artists and activists; precise locations such as Paris and Chatham, Ontario where abolitionists congregated to speculate over the future of, and hatch emigration plans to, sites in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean; and the reimagining of abolitionist places in twentieth and twenty-first century literature and public art. This book was originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies.
