Reviews

'This volume of thirty-two beautifully crafted essays is a most welcome contribution to Douglass studies, one that will prove useful to a wide range of readers, from undergraduates to experts in the field. The essays are of uniformly high quality, more concerned to present facts than arguments, yet they are also rich with fresh insights that open paths to further research on their topics.' Nick Bromell, Transatlantica
