Reviews

... insightful.... essential reading for students of the antislavery movement, the Society of Friends, and American religion.--Cassandra Pybus, University of Sydney JOURNAL AMERICAN ETHNIC HIST (01/01/2009)


<p> Impressive. As someone who has worked with most of the materials Jordan has used, I am struck by his thorough, thoughtful, and incisive use of them. The prose is smooth, even, and readable. I do not agree with all of his conclusions, but he argues his case well and raises questions about Quakers and anti--slavery that are a major contribution to American religious and reform history. --Thomas A. Hamm, Earlham College--Thomas A. Hamm, Earlham College
