Excerpt from The War and Slavery; And Their Relations to Each Other: A Discourse, Delivered in the Old South Church, Reading, December 28, 1862 As to slavery itself, and aside from the war, such are its evils in my estimation, and so anxious should we be for its abolition, that I think all the Christian energies of this nation should be bowed to the task of removing it in the speediest and best possible way. As I believe in the gospel, I believe it cannot and ought not to stand before it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Church and Slavery There are times when it is important that every man, however humble may be his name, should express his views on great moral, political, and religious subjects. Public sentiment is made up of a great number Of individual Opinions, as earth and ocean are made up of a great number of individual particles of matter. The opinion of each individual contributes to form the public sentiment, as the labour of the animalcule in the ocean contributes to form the coral reefs that rise above the waves. Public sentiment controls our land; public senti ment will ultimately control the world. All that error, tyranny, and oppression demand is a strong public sentiment in their favor; all that is necessary to counteract their influence is that public senti ment should be right.

Excerpt from A Discourse on the Slavery Question: Delivered in the North Church, Hartford, Thursday Evening, Jan; 10, 1839 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground. Navigation is dangerous, where two seas meet. The transi tion to my subject is obvious. But let me remind you in passing, that Paul, who was pilot in this memorable scene, did much more magnify his office, than if he had only dared to speak in fair sailing and still water. Perhaps too, it may serve your comfort to add the last words of the chap ter - And it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.* Some of you will recollect that I addressed you on the subject of Slaver'y at an early period, or 'within a few days of the first outbreak of that movement which has since agitated our country.

The groundbreaking debut by the award-winning author of Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, revised and updated. Saidiya Hartman has been praised as “one of our most brilliant contemporary thinkers” (Claudia Rankine, New York Times Book Review) and “a lodestar for a generation of students and, increasingly, for politically engaged people outside the academy” (Alexis Okeowo, The New Yorker). In Scenes of Subjection—Hartman’s first book, now revised and expanded—her singular talents and analytical framework turn away from the “terrible spectacle” and toward the forms of routine terror and quotidian violence characteristic of slavery, illuminating the intertwining of injury, subjugation, and selfhood even in abolitionist depictions of enslavement. By attending to the withheld and overlooked at the margins of the historical archive, Hartman radically reshapes our understanding of history, in a work as resonant today as it was on first publication, now for a new generation of readers. This 25th anniversary edition features a new preface by the author, a foreword by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, an afterword by Marisa J. Fuentes and Sarah Haley, notations with Cameron Rowland, and compositions by Torkwase Dyson.
