It has long been acknowledged that the death penalty in the United
States of America has been shaped by the country's history of
slavery and racial violence, but this book considers the
lesser-explored relationship between the two practices' respective
abolitionist movements. The book explains how the historical and
conceptual links between slavery and capital punishment have both
helped and hindered efforts to end capital punishment. The
comparative study also sheds light on the nature of such efforts,
and offers lessons for how death penalty abolitionism should
proceed in future. Using the history of slavery and abolition, it
is argued that anti-death penalty efforts should be premised on the
ideologies of the radical slavery abolitionists.
