A Tribute for the Negro: . explains the \"sin of slavery\" . refutes notions of the correlation of intellectual ability to skin color . explores the history of slavery across the globe . discusses the \"pernicious influence of slavery\" . mounts an impassioned defense of African culture . offers numerous biographical accounts of slave life in America. An important document of the North American slave experience-and of the abolitionist movement it inspired both in the States and abroad-this is must reading for anyone interested in this most shameful aspect of American history. British writer WILSON ARMISTEAD (1819¬-1868) was a correspondent of Charles Darwin. He also wrote Anthony Benezet (1859).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47589496553623,"sku":"9781596053441","price":2519.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781596053441.webp?v=1774969008","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-tribute-for-the-negro-9781596053441","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
