Frederick Douglass, one of the most prominent figures in African-American and United States history, was born a slave, but escaped to the North and became a well-known anti-slavery activist, orator, and author. In The Political Thought of Frederick Douglass, Nicholas Buccola provides an important and original argument about the ideas that animated this reformer-statesman. Beyond his role as an abolitionist, Buccola argues for the importance of understanding Douglass as a political thinker who provides deep insights into the immense challenge of achieving and maintaining the liberal promise of freedom. Douglass, Buccola contends, shows us that the language of rights must be coupled with a robust understanding of social responsibility in order for liberal ideals to be realized. Truly an original American thinker, this book highlights Douglass ?s rightful place among the great thinkers in the American liberal tradition. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

But, for those people who are concerned with how FD is used to legitimate wildly different positions on policies (e.g., for or against race factoring in admissions decisions), this is an excellent book. It has cogent definitions of the major kinds of liberal political theory, smart analyses of Douglass's writings, useful summaries of Douglass's disagreements with Garrison, even-handed summaries and discussions of the work of other scholars. I intend to use it next time I teach a graduate seminar on 19th century American rhetoric. ( )
