Educated for Freedom: The Incredible Story of Two Fugitive Schoolboys Who Grew Up to Change a Nation
The powerful story of two young men who changed the national debate about slavery In the 1820s, few Americans could imagine a viable future for black children. Even abolitionists saw just two options for African American youth: permanent subjection or exile. Educated for Freedom tells the story of James McCune Smith and Henry Highland Garnet, two black children who came of age and into freedom as their country struggled to grow from a slave natio…
Child Slavery before and after Emancipation: An Argument for Child-Centered Slavery Studies
If we are to fully understand how slavery survived legal abolition, we must grapple with the work that abolition has left undone, and dismantle the structures that abolition has left in place.

In this collection, Anna Ma…

Duane recovers and analyzes the records of the New York African Free School in the 1810s and 1820s, an arch…
An Infant Nation: Childhood Studies and Early America
The child, it has been said, is the last acceptable “other.” While minority scholarship has made us aware of the injustice and inaccuracy of infantilizing colonized and marginalized people, we have only begun to look with a critical eye at the narratives of sentimentality, emotionality, and inferiority attached to children. This article traces at the prevalence of the child‐as‐symbol in early American literature and culture in order to elucidate …
