Synopsis:

One in a series of eight books which looks at the problems associated with ethnic groups and minorities over a time span of 100 years from the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the Second World War - the peak years for national conflicts in Europe. Key features of the project are a selective thematic approach and the application of comparative methods. Eight themes were selected for detailed attention and a distinguished team of contributors, representing a variety of disciplines - history, theology, education, law, sociology, anthropology and geography - were recruited from all over Europe.

Review:

"Thousands of young readers in 19th century America learned about eloquence and liberty from the stirring speeches, plays, and poems in The Columbian Orator. When one reads it today--even better, reads it aloud--its eloquence speaks to us all." -Sydney Nathans, Duke University

"Frederick Douglass validated his manhood by giving Edward Covey, his surrogate slave master, a good whipping. What inspired his fists was not only manly rage, but liberating knowledge--knowledge gained in part from his reading of The Columbian Orator. I read it now and the words still inspire and inflame." -Ossie Davis,

"The Columbian Orator was of profound importance to the shaping of the African American canon, through "The Narrative of Frederick Douglass". David Blight has done historians and literary critics a profound service by so expertly editing this germinal text. A must read for scholars of American and African American studies." -Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard University
