David Blight writes American history about slavery, the Civil War, abolition and the struggle over how those events are remembered. Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom is a large-scale biography that follows Douglass from slavery through abolitionism, the Civil War and later public life. Race and Reunion examines how national memory of the Civil War often marginalised emancipation and Black freedom in favour of reconciliation between white North and South. Blight's writing is detailed but narrative-driven. The clearest discovery routes are Civil War history, Reconstruction, Frederick Douglass and the politics of historical memory. Read more Less
