The Slave’s Cause: A History of Abolition

The Slave’s Cause examines a History of Abolition, combining Manisha Sinha's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of history and political science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
