For more than twenty years David Brion Davis has been recognized as
a leading authority on the moral and ideological responses to
slavery in the Western world. From Homicide to Slavery, Davis's
first book of collected essays, brings together selections
reflecting his wide-ranging interests in colonial history,
Afro-American history, the social sciences, and American
literature. The essays are interconnected by Davis's central
concern with violence, irrationality, and the definition of moral
limits during a period when Americans believed they were breaking
free from historical constraints and acquiring new powers of
self-perfection. Topics range from a socially revealing murder
trial in 1843 to debates over capital punishment, movements of
counter-subversion, the iconography of race, the cowboy as an
American hero, the portrayal of violence in American literature,
the historiography of slavery, and the British and American
antislavery movements.
