Dismantling Slavery: Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Formation of the Abolitionist Discourse, 1841–1851 (original) (raw)

Dismantling Slavery explores the collaboration and eventual split between Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, two pivotal figures in the American abolitionist movement during the 1840s and 1850s. The book examines how their partnership shaped antislavery rhetoric and activism, connecting abolitionism to broader social movements of the time. While it offers insightful analyses of literary and political discourses, the work is criticized for its lack of engagement with the latest scholarship and for several historical inaccuracies that undermine its credibility.
