Anti-Slavery Dialectic: A Frederick Douglass Anthology brings together the fugitive slave lectures and emancipatory thought of Frederick Douglass gleaned from his vast body of intellectual work as seminal contributions towards laying the philosophical foundations of Black liberation discourse in a single comprehensive edition.

What can the Revolt of human 'being' against chattel slavery tell us about the human condition? What does it mean to be human? And, how does this question of the meaning of human 'being' speak to socio-historical imperatives of human liberation against established structures of power in our contemporary world that are inscribed with an originary violence of chattel slavery, and thus systematically disavow ethical responsibility and disallow human consideration when confronted with the assertion of Black subjectivity-as-human 'being'?

Anti-Slavery Dialectic immediately serves as a classic text on the question of human freedom and outstanding testament of Frederick Douglass' enduring philosophical relevance to insurgent struggles of ascendant humanity against a western imperialist continuum.

Douglass, Frederick: - "Frederick Douglass (1817? - 1895) is a towering African American historical figure. As a Black radical abolitionist, writer, philosopher of human freedom and fugitive slave lecturer, Douglass was known for his outstanding oratorical prowess, tireless intellectual engagement and existential commitment to the socio-historical struggle against human slavery. Douglass himself was born into human slavery on Maryland's Eastern Shore as the son of an enslaved Black mother and white slavemaster. Douglass escaped slavery in 1838 and became an abolitionist lecturer by 1841. Douglass not only lectured throughout the continental United States, but throughout the British Isles on three separate tours from 1845 to 1847, 1859 to 1860 and1886 to 1887."
