{"product_id":"watching-slavery-witness-texts-and-joe-lockard-9780820495415","title":"Watching Slavery; Witness Texts and Travel Reports","description":"How did witnesses of slavery relate their experiences and what effect did their reports have? This book examines travel accounts, fictions, poetry, and legal texts to analyze direct and indirect encounters with slavery in the antebellum United States. It discusses the rhetorical politics of British and American, and black and white, observations of slavery. The discussion raises critical questions about the role of witness and its link with political action, both in antebellum and contemporary America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Lockard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820495417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820495415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 84","brand":"Joe Lockard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47473937252607,"sku":"9780820495415","price":48.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_541606b4-62cf-4f7a-98e7-dd2b1fb5ac99.jpg?v=1762313900","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/watching-slavery-witness-texts-and-joe-lockard-9780820495415","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
