Making Slavery History: Abolitionism and the Politics of Memory in Massachusetts
Minardi, Margot (Assistant Professor of History and Humanities, Assistant Professor of History and Humanities, Reed College)
Examining how memory both catalyzes and curtails social change, this book concerns how commemorative culture shaped antislavery politics in early national Massachusetts. Abolitionists drew on their state's Revolutionary heritage to mobilize opposition to Southern slavery, but activists diverged in terms of how they idealized black historical agency.
