"Taken all in all, Myers’s volume is the best contribution to understanding Douglass in a generation."—Claremont Review of Books
"Myers’s book is an incisive and comprehensive examination of the political thought of the greatest of all black abolitionists. But it is more than that. As a fervent defense of Douglass’s ‘natural rights liberalism’ it makes a significant contribution to current debates on the meaning of liberty and equality."—George M. Fredrickson, author of Racism: A Short History
