The Horrible Gift of Freedom: Atlantic Slavery and the Representation of Emancipation
Marcus Wood
Why did imagery showing the very instant of the birth of black slave freedom invariably personify Liberty as a white woman? Where did the image of the enchained kneeling slave, ubiquitous in abolitionist visual culture on both sides of the Atlantic, come from? This book attempts to answer these questions.
