Abstract:

AbstractThis article argues that a reliance on material texts tied to the concept of improvement—such as picturesque engravings, diagrams, and account books—pushed the early abolitionist movement toward a reforming, ameliorationist ethic that disavowed revolutionary action and immediate emancipation. Although the term improvement had broad social applicability by the late eighteenth century, its original connections to land management made it an especially important concept for the abolitionist debate. Integrating book history with studies of enslavement and abolition, I show how abolitionists

Abstract:

This essay explores how the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement’s public visibility during the summer of 2020 opened critical space to reconsider and critique entrenched narratives of British abolitionism that render the fate of post-emancipation Black futures inconsequential. It highlights some of the contestations within a British historiographical tradition that has co-opted abolitionism as a means to engender and fortify mythologies of a liberal and progressive white nation to the detriment of even conceiving of Black freedom as a requisite to emancipation.

Abstract:

In one sense, America’s newest abolitionist movement—advocating the elimination of policing and prison—has been a success. Following the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, a small group of self-described radicals convinced a wide swath of ordinary liberals to accept a sweeping claim: Mere reforms cannot meaningfully reduce prison and policing’s serious harms. Only elimination can. On the other hand, abolitionists have failed to secure lasting policy change. The difficulty is crime. In 2021, following a nationwide uptick in homicides, liberal support for abolitionist proposals collapsed. Despite

Abstract: This article argues for the significance of shame within British abolitionism. Close reading of the autobiographical writings of John Newton, an enslaver-turned-abolitionist and evangelical minister, reveals how changing ideas of shame shaped British responses to slavery in the late eighteenth century. I focus in particular on the idea of collective shame, through which Newton and other abolitionists claimed that slavery represented a source of shame for the entire British nation. Attending to Newton's sense of the shame of slavery, I show, yields fresh answers to longstanding histor

Abstract:

In this essay, I investigate the ways in which abolitionists and pro-slavery forces use Tocqueville before and during the Civil War, drawing on the major black and white abolitionist newspapers ( The Liberator, National Anti-Slavery Standard, The National Era, The North Star, and The Colored American). By focusing on the dissemination of Tocqueville’s ideas within a specific audience of white abolitionists, and on the impact of blacks’ criticism on this process, I challenge Tocqueville’s abolitionist arguments. Thus, using Tocqueville as a prism through which to discuss some of the key issues

AbstractIn the 1820s it was predominantly Black abolitionists who opposed gradualist abolitionism and the concept of colonization, while, in general, White abolitionists opposed slavery, viewing it as seductive or as sin in itself, but did not want full emancipation for Blacks. Therefore, David Walker’s Appeal from 1829 is a central document in that it calls for immediate and full emancipation as well as opposition to racism and White supremacy. This article argues that the shift in political aim of Black radical abolitionists correlates with an innovation in theological foundation. Walker gro

Debates about commercial sex occupy a prominent place on the agenda of both global and Russian-language feminist communities.

Trying to understand this contradiction, the article raises issue on how neo-abolitionist discourse is designed and what political impact it produces.

Juvenile literature of “domestic abolitionism” seems to be one of the most interesting, yet under-researched branches of American abolitionist literature. Domestic abolitionist authors were usually women, who often published their texts anonymously or assuming pseudonyms. Diverse as they are in terms of genre, these texts share a set of common features. Among these features, according to Deborah De Rosa, is employment of three overarching images: the abolitionist mother-historian, the slave child, the white child. The mother-historian tells stories to foster “a change of hearts” of her young l

Alexander Crummell's application to enter the General Theological Seminary in 1839 was problematic for the Episcopal Church.

In Northern states the social elite supported anti-abolitionist violence, whilst in the South support for the Church came predominantly from slaveholders, who opposed any form of abolit

The West India planter-master became the most vilified figure in British literature as a result of the abolitionist campaign to end the slave trade.

He argues that the tyranny of absolute mastery is inherent in African slavery.

The development of the primarily women-of-color-led movement for transformative justice has also shed light on the fact that abolition requires not just the transformation of social relations and place, but the transformations of subjectivity itself. This movement recognizes that violence is not just enacted against oppressed communities but is enacted with them, and hence the line between those who harm and those who face harm is often illusory. The movement for transformative justice—for accountability without disposability—calls on us to create different systems of relationality, which, in

The charge of enthusiasm, while accurate in recognizing abolitionists’ energetic vision, helped detractors mischaracterize the movement as dangerously zealous.

Abstract Abolitionist lawmakers promulgated policies during the July Monarchy designed to ameliorate the conditions of enslaved people in France's colonies. These reforms focused on family life and curtailing abusive corporal punishment. Scholars have argued these policies were weak and ineffective. However, a series of lawsuits, filed by both enslaved and freed women, reveals how reform engendered conflicts before emancipation in 1848. These lawsuits reveal three important dynamics about the final years of French slavery: how abolitionists drew on these cases to advance reform priorities, how

Abstract:

Abstract This article highlights the centrality of theatrical and carnival performances to the making of the Brazilian abolitionist movement. Based on the case study of Recife, it argues that these cultural manifestations were integral to broadly politicizing the problem of emancipation and to constructing abolitionist public opinion. Important not only for consolidating popular support, abolitionist performances also created new codes for political expression and recast the terms of political belonging, or citizenship. In the wake of the wide disenfranchisement stemming from the 1881 electora

Abstract:

In the former penal colony of New South Wales (NSW), a Labor government attempted what its counterpart in Queensland had achieved in 1922: the abolition of the death penalty. Although NSW’s unelected Legislative Council scuttled Labor’s 1925 bill, the party’s prevarication over capital punishment and the government’s poor management of the campaign thwarted abolition for a further three decades. However, NSW’s failure must be analysed in light of ambivalent abolitionism that prevailed in Britain and the US in the postwar decade. In this wider context, Queensland, rather than NSW, was the aboli

Abstract:

Two recent documentaries by award-winning journalist Seth Kwame Boateng, Locked and Forgotten (2015) and Left to Rot (2016), have played an important role in recent Ghanaian prison reform efforts. This paper identifies the ways these documentaries extend beyond a reformist agenda and move towards a more radical vision of penal abolition. By creating a dialogue between Boateng’s documentaries and the analyses and frameworks of penal abolitionism, this paper calls for a remapping of global abolitionist discourse to include critiques of ‘criminal justice’ that are articulated in diverse geographi

Abstract:

The struggle against slave trade was the largest humanitarian issue of the 19th century. French historiography lists the names of some famous abolitionists celebrated by the Republic. Others have remained behind the scenes. Among them some laymen, but also Reformed ministers and theologians such as Benjamin-Sigismond Frossard (1754-1830) and Guillaume de Félice (1803-1871) were important actors in the shaping of a French abolitionist opinion. Jean-François Zorn evokes the part they played and shows the link between their political analysis, ethical claims and theological convictions.
