From 1954 to 1956, the Free Europe Press, sister organisation to Radio Free Europe, engaged in a covert propaganda campaign known as Operation Focus. Writing under the alias of the fictional Hungarian partisan group Nemzeti Ellenzéki Mozgalom, the campaign encouraged widespread passive resistance against the communist regime through a coordinated print and radio campaign facilitated via specially-designed weather balloons and RFE broadcasts, resp…

My Brother Slaves
My Brother Slaves fills a long-standing void in the history of slavery. For decades after slavery became a popular topic of inquiry for US historians in the 1950s and 1960s, the monographs that emerged almost exclusively addressed the experience of enslaved men, even while they purported to describe the lives of slaves more generally. Then in 1985, Deborah Gray White called attention to the neglect of women in the history of slavery with her now-…
Journeys of the Slave Narrative in the Early Americas
With this collection of eight essays (plus an introduction and coda), the editors Nicole N. Aljoe and Ian Finseth seek to reconceptualize the slave narrative genre in multiple ways—by extending its periodization back to the early eighteenth century, incorporating transnational and transcultural narratives, and including texts not actually written by enslaved people. Aljoe and Finseth make a compelling case to expand the traditional slave narrativ…
Gender and Race in Antebellum Popular Culture
In the decades leading to the Civil War, popular conceptions of African American men shifted dramatically. The savage slave featured in 1830s' novels and stories gave way by the 1850s to the less-threatening humble black martyr. This radical reshaping of black masculinity in American culture occurred at the same time that the reading and writing of popular narratives were emerging as largely feminine enterprises. In a society where women wielded …

The Blade Was in My Own Breast’
This article examines antislavery authors’ attempts in the 1850s to fictionalize the Margaret Garner story of slave infanticide as a means of converting northern white readers to the antislavery cause. In their attempts to gain sympathy for an enslaved female protagonist who had murdered her own child, these authors confronted strong cultural beliefs about femininity, motherhood, and blackness. Almost uniformly, their strategy involved lightening…
How a Slave was Made a Man’
In the manner in which they portrayed black masculinity, fugitive slave autobiographies published in the 1840s represented a sharp break from abolitionist narratives produced during the previous decade. Unlike anti-slavery authors writing in the 1830s, slave narrators of the 1840s deliberately renounced any connection between black manhood and a willingness to commit horrific acts of retributive violence against whites. At the same time, fugitive…
