This collection of fifteen insightful essays examines the
complexity and diversity of Quaker antislavery attitudes across
three centuries, from 1658 to 1890. Contributors from a range of
disciplines, nations, and faith backgrounds show Quaker's beliefs
to be far from monolithic. They often disagreed with one another
and the larger antislavery movement about the morality of
slaveholding and the best approach to abolition. Not surprisingly,
contributors explain, this complicated and evolving antislavery
sensibility left behind an equally complicated legacy. While Quaker
antislavery was a powerful contemporary influence in both the
United States and Europe, present-day scholars pay little
substantive attention to the subject. This volume faithfully seeks
to correct that oversight, offering accessible yet provocative new
insights on a key chapter of religious, political, and cultural
history. Contributors include Dee E. Andrews, Kristen Block,
Brycchan Carey, Christopher Densmore, Andrew Diemer, J. William
Frost, Thomas D. Hamm, Nancy A. Hewitt, Maurice Jackson, Anna
Vaughan Kett, Emma Jones Lapsansky-Werner, Gary B. Nash, Geoffrey
Plank, Ellen M. Ross, Marie-Jeanne Rossignol, James Emmett Ryan,
and James Walvin.
