Explores how important black abolitionists joined famous Transcendentalists to create a political philosophy that fired the radical struggle against American slavery. What emerges here is not simply the dreamy philosophy of privileged white New Englanders, but a more populist movement, one that encouraged an uncompromising form of politics among a wide range of Northerners, black as well as white, working-class as well as wealthy.
