This book provides a detailed biographical and historiographical examination of the noted Immediate Abolitionist leader, William Lloyd Garrison using chiefly his own words. The book is intended for both casual readers and researchers looking for a cited and scholarly work on the abolitionist movement. Particularly those students of history looking to understand the abolition movement's philosophy during the decades just before the American Civil War. Garrison was the focus because of his unique position at the heart of the immediate abolitionist movement. In fact, Garrison (1805-1879) was at the time the best-known and most radical immediate abolitionist of the antebellum period, and was closely associated at various times with other notables such as Wendell Phillips, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Frederick Douglass. Some historians have even described his role as being uniquely indispensable to the early days of abolitionism, viewing him as the movement's spiritual leader and the center of philosophical discord within the movement's hierarchy. In fact, the key philosophical differences within the movement have even been characterized by academic journals as divisions between Garrisonian and anti-Garrisonian factions. Simply put, no study of the antebellum period and abolitionists is complete without a study of Garrison's life and personal philosophy as found in this book. Research for this book was founded on observations by his contemporaries, period publications such as the newspaper The Liberator, and related published observations in journals and books by later historians. In the absence of an actual autobiography a six volume set of Garrison's correspondence running almost the entirety of his life served as the primary source for most of the findings in this book. The six volumes span Garrison's life from 1822 until his death in 1879. In all, the six volumes contain 1,527 separate pieces of correspondence which were presented in a chronological sequence. The first four volumes contain all the known letters by Garrison that were available at the time of the volumes' publication. The correspondence presented consisted of private letters to family, friends and associates as well as public letters to editors of publications and civic leaders. This book is a comprehensive and documented attempt to draw from those six volumes of correspondence as well as other sources the belief structure and ideology behind the philosopher abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison.

Essays that treat the topic of slavery in many ways, especially finding validity for slavery as an abstract principle, both as instituted by the Bible and as a reflection of the authoritarian bases of religious and civil government. Smith argues for the fitness of the system to supply the needs and cater to the limited abilities of slaves, arguing against the idea of equal rights for unequal people. He refutes emancipation, warning that civil chaos would result, asserting that the slave system is beneficial for all Southerners and is related to the greater stability of the South versus the North. The last essay lays out the responsibilities of slave-owners to ask for reasonable work and to provide all the necessities of life to the slave.

How a band of antislavery leaders recovered the radical philosophical inspirations of the first American Revolution to defeat the slaveholders’ oligarchy in the Civil War. This is a story about a dangerous idea—one which ignited revolutions in America, France, and Haiti; burst across Europe in the revolutions of 1848; and returned to inflame a new generation of intellectuals to lead the abolition movement—the idea that all men are created equal. In their struggle against the slaveholding oligarchy of their time, America’s antislavery leaders found their way back to the rationalist, secularist, and essentially atheist inspiration for the first American Revolution. Frederick Douglass’s unusual interest in radical German philosophers and Abraham Lincoln’s buried allusions to the same thinkers are but a few of the clues that underlie this propulsive philosophical detective story. With fresh takes on forgotten thinkers like Theodore Parker, the excommunicated Unitarian minister who is the original source of some of Lincoln’s most famous lines, and a feisty band of German refugees, philosopher and historian Matthew Stewart tells a vivid and piercing story of the battle between America’s philosophical radicals and the conservative counterrevolution that swept the American republic in the first decades of its existence and persists in new forms up to the present day. In exposing the role of Christian nationalism and the collusion between northern economic elites and slaveholding oligarchs, An Emancipation of the Mind demands a significant revision in our understanding of the origins and meaning of the struggle over slavery in America—and offers a fresh perspective on struggles between democracy and elite power today.

The implications of these essays extend far beyond antislavery, important as that subject undoubtedly is.

Enlightenment thinkers such as Rousseau and Montesquieu are best known for their humanist theories and liberating influence on Western civilization. But as renowned French intellectual Louis Sala-Molins shows, Enlightenment discourses and scholars were also complicit in the Atlantic slave trade, becoming instruments of oppression and inequality. Translated into English for the first time, Dark Side of the Light scrutinizes Condorcet’s Reflections on Negro Slavery and the works of Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Diderot side by side with the Code Noir (the royal document that codified the rules of French Caribbean slavery) in order to uncover attempts to uphold the humanist project of the Enlightenment while simultaneously justifying slavery. Wielding the pen of both the ironist and the moralist, Sala-Molins demonstrates the flawed nature of these attempts and the reasons given for this denial of rights, from the imperatives of public order to the incomplete humanity of the slave (and thus the need for his progressive humanization through slavery), to the economic prosperity that depended on his labor. At the same time, Sala-Molins uses the techniques of literature to give equal weight to the perspective of the “barefooted, the starving, and the slaves” through expository prose and scenes between slave and philosopher, giving moral agency and flesh-and-blood dimensions to issues most often treated as abstractions. Both an urgent critique and a measured analysis, Dark Side of the Light reveals the moral paradoxes of Enlightenment philosophies and their world-changing consequences. Louis Sala-Molins is a moral and political philosopher and emeritus professor at the University of Toulouse. He is the author of many books, including Le Code Noir, ou Le calvaire de Canaan and L’Afrique aux Amériques. John Conteh-Morgan is associate professor of French and Francophone, African-American, and African studies at Ohio State University. He is the author of Theatre and Drama in Francophone Africa: A Critical Introduction.
