Reviews

Gabrial successfully shows how the news media of the 19th century shaped national and local understandings of slavery, racial ideologies, and resistance to human bondage by both black slaves and white and black abolitionists. This is an important book that crosses disciplinary boundaries, informing scholars of slavery and journalism about how their fields interacted. --Paul Finkelman, Ariel F. Sallows Visiting Professor of Human Rights Law, University of Saskatchewan College of Law and Senior Fellow, University of Pennsylvania Program on Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism With its carefully developed analytical framework and fine-grained examination of antebellum news. . . Gabrial's book is a pointed reminder that the United States was founded upon a racial paradox. --Journalism & Mass Communications Quarterly
