Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. An essential collection of writings by the abolitionist writer who coined the term ?The Underground Railroad?Thomas Smallwood was a shoemaker by day and an organizer of mass escapes from slavery by night. Eleven years after purchasing his freedom from slavery, Smallwood took to the press and, over a 16-month stretch starting in 1842, pseudonymously penned numerous dispatches, satirizing and excoriating slaveowners, many of whom he referred to by name, all while offering sobering reflections on the depravity of slavery. With a pen that Smallwood would call his 'lash', he leveraged mockery to flip the oppressive racial power structure of America ? Smallwood even insisted copies of his dispatches be sent directly to the slaveholders he named. These dispatches, in which Smallwood was the first to in print use the now famous term 'The Underground Railroad', are the only accounts of escape to be written in real time, imbuing Smallwood?s subversive wit with an immeasurable depth of urgency and defiance.Oftentimes left out of contemporary discussions of abolitionist writers, this collection of dispatches ? edited by and featuring notes from Scott Shane, the author of the first book on the Smallwood?s life ? will introduce readers to Smallwood?s influential writings and highlight one of the forgotten voices of abolitionism in the United States. …

Twelve years after purchasing his freedom, Smallwood took to the press and, over a sixteen-month stretch starting in 1842, pseudonymously published newspaper dispatches ridiculing and excoriating enslavers by name and offering sobering reflections on the depravity of slavery. With the pen that Smallwood called his "lash," he leveraged mockery to flip the oppressive racial power structure of America. These dispatches, in which Smallwood was the first to use "underground railroad" in print, are the only accounts of escapes to be published in real time, imbuing Smallwood's subversive wit with urgency and defiance.

From the publisher: "At the bottom of every controversy embroiling the university today -- from debates over hate-speech codes to the reorganization of the academy as a multicultural institution -- is the concept of academic freedom. But academic freedom is almost never mentioned in these debates. Now nine leading academics consider the problems confronting the American university in terms of their effect on the future of academic freedom. Whom and what does academic freedom protect? Are restrictions on hate speech compatible with the academic freedom of inquiry? Must academic freedom have epistemological foundations, or should it be reconceived as an ethical practice? If the American university is now undergoing a radical reorganization, both intellectual and economic, what are the threats to the freedoms of inquiry and expression that professors and students have traditionally taken for granted? The essays respond to critics of the university, but they also respond to one another: Rorty and Haskell argue about the epistemological foundations of academic freedom; Gates and Sunstein discuss the legal and educational logic of speech codes. But in the end the volume achieves an unexpected consensus about the need to reconceive the concept of academic freedom in order to meet the threats and risks of the future.".
