Discourses of Slavery and Abolition brings together for the first time the most important strands of current thinking on the relationship between slavery and categories of writing, oratory and visual culture in the 'long' Eighteenth-century. The book begins by examining writing about slavery and race by both philosophers and by authors such as Aphra Behn. It considers self-representation in the works of Ignatius Sancho, Olaudah Equiano, James Williams and Mary Prince. The final section reads literary and cultural texts associated with the abolition movements of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries, moving beyond traditional accounts of the documents of that movement to show the importance of religious writing, children's literature and the relationship between art and abolition.

Excerpt from A Discourse on Slavery in the United States: Delivered in Brooklyn, July 3, 1831 A part of the following Discourse was first delivered in Boston on the evening of the 29th of May. It was re-written and preached to my own people, July 3d. Since then, it has been delivered in three different towns. Several persons have expressed a desire that it should be published. I have therefore amended and enlarged it; and now respectfully offer it to the perusal of my fellow citizens of New-England.
