Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An essential collection of writings by the abolitionist writer who coined the term ?The Underground Railroad?Thomas Smallwood was a shoemaker by day and an organizer of mass escapes from slavery by night. Eleven years after purchasing his freedom from slavery, Smallwood took to the press and, over a 16-month stretch starting in 1842, pseudonymously penned numerous dispatches, satirizing and excoriating slaveowners, many of whom he referred to by name, all while offering sobering reflections on the depravity of slavery. With a pen that Smallwood would call his 'lash', he leveraged mockery to flip the oppressive racial power structure of America ? Smallwood even insisted copies of his dispatches be sent directly to the slaveholders he named. These dispatches, in which Smallwood was the first to in print use the now famous term 'The Underground Railroad', are the only accounts of escape to be written in real time, imbuing Smallwood?s subversive wit with an immeasurable depth of urgency and defiance.Oftentimes left out of contemporary discussions of abolitionist writers, this collection of dispatches ? edited by and featuring notes from Scott Shane, the author of the first book on the Smallwood?s life ? will introduce readers to Smallwood?s influential writings and highlight one of the forgotten voices of abolitionism in the United States. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Thomas Sparkman wasn't looking for trouble. He never could have imagined being on a wanted poster, let alone becoming a notorious gold robber hunted in two states. But when Thomas sneaks off the Cuban front of the Spanish-American War with his sights set on returning to his pregnant wife in California, his path takes a series of unexpected turns. He's joined on his journey by a mysterious mercenary, a runaway circus sideshow performer, and an Apache guide and her infant son. As the group traverses the American West, they cross paths with rogues, loners, and hired guns--some searching for their own form of redemption, some working to stop him dead in his tracks. Thomas and his travel companions must stay two steps ahead of their pursuers, outwitting them at every turn, or Thomas may never see home again.…

Pages are fresh and crisp, obviously never read. From the publisher: "At the bottom of every controversy embroiling the university today -- from debates over hate-speech codes to the reorganization of the academy as a multicultural institution -- is the concept of academic freedom. But academic freedom is almost never mentioned in these debates. Now nine leading academics consider the problems confronting the American university in terms of their effect on the future of academic freedom. Whom and what does academic freedom protect? Are restrictions on hate speech compatible with the academic freedom of inquiry? Must academic freedom have epistemological foundations, or should it be reconceived as an ethical practice? If the American university is now undergoing a radical reorganization, both intellectual and economic, what are the threats to the freedoms of inquiry and expression that professors and students have traditionally taken for granted? The essays respond to critics of the university, but they also respond to one another: Rorty and Haskell argue about the epistemological foundations of academic freedom; Gates and Sunstein discuss the legal and educational logic of speech codes. But in the end the volume achieves an unexpected consensus about the need to reconceive the concept of academic freedom in order to meet the threats and risks of the future.".
