Reviews

Here we have an excellent attempt to understand the relationship between Quakers and slavery and to offer insight into the role of traders, abolitionists, African Americans and problematic others who worked towards ending slavery and the slave trade. It has proved a successful venture as it makes a significant contribution to the historiography of studies in the abolition of slavery and Quaker history in the USA and its influence beyond. - Graham Duncan, Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae The best of these essays reach out beyond the specifics of an individual life and allow us to see how these men and women, through their struggles and their activism, can help illuminate not just Quaker history, but the larger story of slavery and abolition. - Andrew Diemer, New Jersey Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal
