• W1497229780 abstract "In Words of Douglass: Quotations from Liberty's Champion. Edited by John R. McKivigan and Heather L. Kaufman. Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 2012. vii + 256 pp. $22.95 hardcover. In Words of Douglass is a collection of approximately seven hundred quotations from one of most famous African American leaders of nineteenth century. According to editors, John R. McKivigan (the Project Director and Editor of Douglass Papers) and Heather L. Kaufman (a research assistant on editorial staff of Douglass Papers), specific quotations that they decided to showcase are representative of breadth and strength of his [Douglass'] intellect and interests as well as eloquence with which he expressed them (xix). McKivigan and Kaufman carefully selected quotations that they believe speak to a wide range of important issues germane to U.S. history and African American life and culture from late years of antebellum era until mid-1890s. They also suggest that Frederick Douglass's words have at least as much relevance to twenty-first-century readers as those of first generation of American founders (xviii). McKivigan and Kaufman sub-divide numerous quotations of varying lengths into 113 logical topics conveniently presented in alphabetical order from Abolition to Women, more than a few of which have sub-categories. Spanning from early 1840s until 1894, quotations are extracted from various speeches, correspondences, editorials, essays, and his three widely read autobiographies. The shortest quote, from a speech in 1880, is four words in length and sounds like an African proverb on patience: Great bodies move slowly (231). The longest quote is twenty-seven lines from an 1844 letter to abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison reflecting upon to hypocrisy of segregation in northern churches. In addition to containing profound quotations from Douglass, In Words of Douglass includes a Foreword by Douglass scholar John Stauffer, a Preface, a straight forward introductory sketch of life and work, a brief chronology, a Note on Editorial Method, a selected bibliography, and an index. Stauffer praises McKivigan's and Kaufman's volume and comments on silencing and canonization of thought during twentieth century. Further, he believes that by reading words, could be motivated to change world they live in. Douglass' words continue to serve as inspiration, Stauffer observes, Indeed they can inspire us, as readers and citizens, to bind up nation's wounds, complete unfinished work, and finally fulfill ideas of freedom and equality of opportunity for all Americans (xiv). The editors share these sentiments, concluding that ideas are relevant to struggles for liberty and equality still being waged today (37). In Preface, editors stress usefulness of Douglass's observations to its readership in new millennium; contextualize his position within basics of black leadership history; and summarize expansive body of writings that Douglass produced primary during second half of nineteenth century. In brief introduction, McKivigan and Kaufman offer a succinct overview of remarkable life story from his birth in February 1818 on a Maryland tobacco plantation until his death in nation's capital on February 20, 1895. The editors demonstrate how Douglass was molded by various contexts and monumental events, including institution of slavery, abolitionist movement, Civil War and Reconstruction, and first decade of Progressive era, the nadir for African Americans. After formally joining abolitionist movement two decades before outbreak of Civil War, Douglass soon developed into a multi-faceted and, in fact, a quintessential universal reformer, human rights activist, and politician who wore many hats and embraced many causes. …" @default.
