Slavery, Propaganda, and the American Revolution

By Patricia Bradley

Book Overview

A rich and rewarding investigation of the role of the newspapers in defining race, color, and slavery at the birth of the American nation. Bradley's analysis of slavery as metaphor in revolutionary-era journalism becomes a powerful explanation of how the patriot press found the language that disseminated ideas and attitudes on free African Americans and slaves.
