"Undoing Slavery: Bodies, Race, and Rights in the Age of Abolition" by Kathleen M. Brown explores the role of the body in the antebellum abolitionist movement. Brown argues that both white and Black abolitionists saw the body as central to their fight against slavery. She reframes how abolitionists understood the significance of Black bodies, emphasizing the concept of "embodied self-sovereignty" as a necessary precondition for claiming political rights. The book draws on extensive archival research and covers themes such as blood, motherhood, scientific and medical knowledge, and labor. Overall, "Undoing Slavery" offers new insights into the history of human rights and humanitarianism. [Extracted from the article] |
