This study explores the late-in-life reflections of several antislavery memorial and historical writers, evaluating the stable and shifting meanings of antebellum abolitionism amidst dramatic changes in postbellum race relations. By investigating veteran abolitionists as movement chroniclers and commemorators and situating their texts within various contexts, Raymond James Krohn further assesses the humanitarian commitments of activists who had valued themselves as the enslaved people's steadfast friends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNever solely against slavery, post-1830 abolitionism challenged widely held anti-Black preju-dices as well. Dedicated to emancipating the enslaved and elevating people of color, it equipped adherents with the necessary linguistic resources to wage a valiant, sustained philanthropic fight. \u003ci\u003eAbolitionist Twilights \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on how the status and condition of the freedpeople and their descen-dants affected book-length representations of antislavery persons and events. In probing veteran- abolitionist engagement in or disengagement from an ongoing African American freedom struggle, this ambitious volume ultimately problematizes scholarly understandings of abolitionism's racial justice history and legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond James Krohn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531505597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531505592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Raymond James Krohn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44809795305727,"sku":"9781531505592","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26d60893-31e0-455d-acf3-45d390cbf6c4.jpg?v=1707927493","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abolitionist-twilights-raymond-james-krohn-9781531505592","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
