"Sale combines an impressive array of historical material with keen analytic skills, an attention to the larger picture with a sensitivity to the nuances of language and rhetoric. The result is an original reading of how and why enslaved people were unable to tell their own stories."--Priscilla Wald, University of Washington
In its demonstration of how the United States has been shaped by its dual status as both an imperial and a postcolonial power, this study on the discourse of natural rights and national identity in the pre-Civil War United States may interest students and scholars of American studies, African American studies, and American history and literature.
