{"product_id":"a-tribute-for-the-negro-wilson-armistead-9781596053441","title":"A Tribute for the Negro","description":"The purport of the present volume, in contradistinction to the idea of the Negro being designed only for a servile condition, is to demonstrate that the Sable inhabitants of Africa are capable of occupying a position in society very superior to that which has been generally assigned to them. -from the Preface This extraordinary book, first published in 1848, serves as both an angry denunciation of the \"terrible institution\" of slavery in the United States and a celebration of the survival and achievements of Africans in America in the pre-Civil War era. A Tribute for the Negro: . explains the \"sin of slavery\" . refutes notions of the correlation of intellectual ability to skin color . explores the history of slavery across the globe . discusses the \"pernicious influence of slavery\" . mounts an impassioned defense of African culture . offers numerous biographical accounts of slave life in America. An important document of the North American slave experience-and of the abolitionist movement it inspired both in the States and abroad-this is must reading for anyone interested in this most shameful aspect of American history. British writer WILSON ARMISTEAD (1819ｬ-1868) was a correspondent of Charles Darwin. He also wrote Anthony Benezet (1859).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilson Armistead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596053445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596053441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.37d","brand":"Wilson Armistead","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979299455231,"sku":"9781596053441","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52674222-26d5-4cc7-b177-4e81537b10e4.jpg?v=1683244815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-tribute-for-the-negro-wilson-armistead-9781596053441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
