\"Wilentz brings a lifetime of learning and a mastery of political history to this brilliant book.\"\n-David W. Blight, author of Frederick Douglass\n\nA New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice\nA Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year\n\nAmericans revere the Constitution even as they argue fiercely over its original toleration of slavery. In this essential reconsideration of the creation and legacy of our nation's founding document, Sean Wilentz reveals the tortured compromises that led the Founders to abide slavery without legitimizing it, a deliberate ambiguity that fractured the nation seventy years later. Contesting the Southern proslavery version of the Constitution, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass pointed to the framers' refusal to validate what they called \"property in man.\" No Property in Man has opened a fresh debate about the political and legal struggles over slavery that began during the Revolution and concluded with the Civil War. It drives straight to the heart of the single most contentious issue in all of American history.\n\n\"Revealing and passionately argued... [Wilentz] insists that because the framers did not sanction slavery as a matter of principle, the antislavery legacy of the Constitution has been...'misconstrued' for over 200 years.\"\n-Khalil Gibran Muhammad, New York Times\n\n\"Wilentz's careful and insightful analysis helps us understand how Americans who hated slavery, such as Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, could come to see the Constitution as an ally in their struggle.\"\n-Eric Foner

How the suppression of the slave trade and the \"disposal\" of liberated Africans shaped the emergence of modern humanitarianism\n \n Between 1808 and 1867, the British navy's Atlantic squadrons seized nearly two thousand slave ships, \"re-capturing\" almost two hundred thousand enslaved people and resettling them as liberated Africans across sites from Sierra Leone and Cape Colony to the West Indies, Brazil, Cuba, and beyond. In this wide-ranging study, Maeve Ryan explores the set of imperial experiments that took shape as British authorities sought to order and instrumentalise the liberated Africans, and examines the dual discourses of compassion and control that evolved around a people expected to repay the debt of their salvation. Ryan traces the ideas that shaped \"disposal\" policies towards liberated Africans, and the forms of resistance and accommodation that characterized their responses. This book demonstrates the impact of interventionist experiments on the lives of the liberated people, on the evolution of a British antislavery \"world system,\" and on the emergence of modern understandings of refuge, asylum, and humanitarian governance.
