Recenzii

"A grand gift. Maurice Jackson has given us an invaluable examination of a remarkable man who stood at the very foundation of the antislavery movement in the eighteenth century. Anthony Benezet's extraordinary story of generosity and commitment is told in Jackson's thoroughly researched, readable book. Those of us who can appreciate what true greatness-in humble and lasting ways-should really mean, owe him our gratitude."-Edward P. Jones, author of The Known World "Let This Voice Be Heard fulfills the mandate of biography at its best because Maurice Jackson has captured the history of a great moral movement's origins in a single, extraordinary life. An indispensable addition to the antislavery bibliography."-David Levering Lewis, author of W. E. B. Du Bois: The Fight for Equality and the American Century "A masterpiece of its kind... Jackson has made a major contribution to our understanding of the origins of abolitionism in the Western world. This book will exert considerable influence for many years."-David Brion Davis, author of Inhuman Bondage: The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the New World "As Jackson demonstrates in his well-researched biography, Benezet was a major force in the transatlantic abolition movement through his publications and correspondence with people like Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush in America, and Granville Sharp and John Wesley in Britain."-Vincent Carretta, Eighteenth-Century Studies "A terrific book about a truly great American... What is especially interesting about Jackson's biography of Benezet is that it reflects a new and applaudable trend of taking the religious views of early abolitionists seriously."-Journal of American Studies
