David Walkers Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World by Peter P Hinks

David Walkers Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World by Peter P Hinks

In 1829, David Walker, a free black born in Wilmington, North Carolina, wrote an appeal decrying the savage and unchristian treatment of blacks in the USA. This new edition of the work provides an introduction, annotations that incorporate research on Walker, and an appendix of documents.

“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.”

—Angela M. Leonard North Carolina Historical Review
