Two young Harvard professors,
Timothy Patrick McCarthy and John
Stauffer, set out to "reconsider the
history of American abolitionism" by
asking up-and-coming scholars to
write and to help each other.  

The result is noted by Eric Foner to
"change our understanding not only
of American abolitionism, but of
American Society itself."

William Loren Katz     
has revised his classic
first published in 1971
to include two chapters
on John Brown   
      

Franny Nudelman, an associate
professor of English at the University
of Virginia,  narrates heated conflicts
over the political significance of the
dead.  She argues that responses to
wartime death cannot be fully
understood without attention to the
brutality directed against African
Americans during the antebellum era.
