Trade Review

“Peter Hinks . . . is now the leading scholarly authority on Walker.”

—Sean Wilentz,Princeton University


“Hinks’s edition of Walker’s Appeal complements his exhaustively researched To Awaken My Afflicted Brethren. With the Appeal, Hinks turns to the intellectual, interdisciplinary, and argumentative quality and development of Walker’s mind. . . . Peter Hinks reintroduces Walker’s abolitionist classic to remind scholars of this erudite black activist; to stress the ‘central function’ of all three versions of the text; . . . and to nuance the political legacy from which Walker sprang and which he conveyed, enhanced, to his heirs.”
