In The Emancipation Circuit Thulani Davis provides a sweeping
rethinking of Reconstruction by tracing how the four million people
newly freed from bondage created political organizations and
connections that mobilized communities across the South. Drawing on
the practices of community they developed while enslaved,
freedpeople built new settlements and created a network of circuits
through which they imagined, enacted, and defended freedom. This
interdisciplinary history shows that these circuits linked rural
and urban organizations, labor struggles, and political culture
with news, strategies, education, and mutual aid. Mapping the
emancipation circuits, Davis shows the geography of ideas of
freedom---circulating on shipping routes, via army maneuvers, and
with itinerant activists---that became the basis for the first mass
Black political movement for equal citizenship in the United
States. In this work, she reconfigures understandings of the
evolution of southern Black political agendas while outlining the
origins of the enduring Black freedom struggle from the Jim Crow
era to the present.
