Ending Slavery: the Antislavery Struggle in Perspective

Résumé

Ending Slavery broadens the scope of the antislavery struggle beyond the national narrative to draw a map of a new transnational and differentiated geography of abolitionism. It aims at complicating our understanding of the antislavery struggle by offering an opportunity to rethink the relationship between the personal and the political in the antebellum period. Focusing on the post-1830 period, Ending Slavery also presents a new and ambitious periodization by extending its historical breadth through Reconstruction, well into the present, to examine contemporary representations and interpretations of the history of abolitionism. The book puts forward a reflection on the historiographical and memorial legacies of antislavery activity in the United States and interrogates how this activism partook and still partakes in the long Civil Rights Movement for full social and political equality for African Americans. Ending Slavery ambitions to expand discussions and open new perspectives on the history of abolitionism, slavery and Atlantic studies.
