In 1841, William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass formed a
partnership that would last a decade and forever change the
abolitionist movement. Throughout the stages of their extraordinary
alliance, anti-slavery mobilization was accelerated, reaching its
height between 1841 and 1851. Centering their arguments on
emancipation, women's equality, and suffrage, the two men worked
tirelessly to publicize and recruit for their cause. Their work
initiated a new discourse of social reform and critique,
positioning the abolition of slavery at the center of progressive
social concerns throughout the first half of the nineteenth century
Dismantling Slavery is the first book to address these two giants
of abolition-Douglass and Garrison-simultaneously. While
underscoring the evolution of abolitionist discourse, Dismantling
Slavery unveils the true nature of the friendship between Douglass
and Garrison, a key ingredient often overlooked by scholars.
Drawing on the writings, speeches, and experiences that shaped the
two as abolitionists, Nilgun Anadolu-Okur's groundbreaking study is
one account of the ways in which abolitionist discourse was shaped
and put to the purposes of moral and democratic reforms. In
addition to turning a close eye on the relationship between
Douglass and Garrison, Anadolu-Okur also details significant
developments that occurred in tandem among other abolitionists and
activists of the era, making for a compelling account of this
pivotal decade in American history, up until the dissolution of
Garrison and Douglass's partnership. Dismantling Slavery represents
a significant interdisciplinary contribution to the study of
abolitionist discourse and will appeal to a wide range of
nineteenth-century scholars.
