Nimtz’s and Edwards’s real-time comparative political analysis offers a unique look at two historically consequential figures with two very different theoretical and political perspectives, both of whom expertly examined the most contentious issue of the nineteenth century. By juxtaposing the political thought and activism of Karl Marx and Frederick Douglass, Nimtz and Edwards are able to make insightful observations and conclusions about race and class in America. The Communist and the Revolutionary Liberal reveals how two still competing political perspectives, liberalism and Marxism, performed when the biggest breakthrough for the millennial-old democratic quest after the French Revolution occurred – the abolition of chattel slavery in the United States. In so doing, it presents potential lessons for today.Listen to the podcast about this title on New Books Network

A unique comparative look at two of the most influential historical figures of the nineteenth century: Karl Marx and Frederick Douglass.The Communist and the Revolutionary Liberal in the Second American Revolution is a timely and urgent work of comparative political analysis. Juxtaposing the political thought and activism of Karl Marx and Frederick Douglass, who approached politics from very different theoretical and political perspectives, Nimtz and Edwards make insightful observations and conclusions about race and class in America. The book reveals how two still competing political perspectives, liberalism and Marxism, responded to the biggest breakthrough in the quest for democracy since the French Revolution: the abolition of chattel slavery in the United States. In doing so, Nimtz and Edwards connect debates about the most contentious issues of the nineteenth century to today’s struggles for democracy, freedom, and emancipation.
