Force and Freedom: Black Abolitionists and the Politics of Violence

byKellie Carter Jackson

Force and Freedom examines black Abolitionists and the Politics of Violence, combining Kellie Carter Jackson's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of history and social science. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
