| Sumario: | This exciting new study examines the role of British Abolition celebrations in the mobilization against American slavery in the Atlantic world between 1830 and 1860. Kerr-Ritchie's argument is constructed through an analysis of social, political, and cultural history. It offers the first major examination of an important black institution and contributes greatly to scholarship concerned with the need to think, write, and research in hemispheric, cross-national, and international ways. Kerr-Ritchie demonstrates how culture and community were and can be political. |
