Beskrivning
This is the first anthology of eighty speeches by forty-two world famous and under-researched African American freedom fighters, liberators and human rights campaigners living and working in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England in the nineteenth century. Their pioneering and revolutionary works are supported by an in-depth introductory essay, author biographies, scholarly annotations and detailed bibliographies. All these human rights orators testify to their lifelong 'fight for freedom' across their radical and revolutionary works. All their lives, they warred against the 'sufferings and horrors' of enslavement as a centuries-old 'cursed institution.' 'Words are weapons' in their fight for Black liberation. Across their life's works, they all protested against the rise of the 'spirit of slavery' in white supremacist and white racist US and British transatlantic societies.

Recensioner i media

Professors Bernier and Murray provide the speeches of both men and women who traveled the UK, lecturing on the ills of slavery. Nineteenth-Century African American Speeches in Britain and Ireland exposes us to self-liberated American individuals who lectured the anti-slavery case in the UK. A book we did not know we needed.
