"Every historian working on colonization will want to read and
engage this provocative history of the experience of African
colonization for the manumitted, the manumitters, and their
proslavery critics."--American Historical Review "One of the most
insightful treatments of colonization in years."--Pennsylvania
Magazine of History and Biography "Balanced, accessible, and
thorough. Each of Burin's chapters explores the ACS from a specific
perspective: ACS members who manumitted enslaved workers
specifically to go to Liberia, the enslaved themselves, northern
fundraisers, white southerners, legal authorities, and finally, the
freedpeople in Liberia."--Journal of African American History
"Presents a vivid portrait of the organization as a conduit through
which several thousand African Americans passed from American
slavery to African freedom."--Journal of American History "Conveys
the image of chattel slavery not as a monolithic structure
controlling all masters and slaves everywhere but as a constantly
changing entity throbbing with painful issues of personal and
private rights in conflict with predominant opinions about social
cohesion and custom. . . . The result is a refreshingly complex
picture of American slavery."--History "A meticulously researched
biography of one of the oft-overlooked cul-de-sacs in American
history."--Virginia Quarterly Review
