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.
