Paperback. Condition: New. Thomas Smallwood was a shoemaker by day and an organizer of mass escapes from slavery by night. Eleven years after purchasing his freedom from slavery, Smallwood took to the press and, over a 16-month stretch starting in 1842, pseudonymously penned numerous dispatches, satirizing and excoriating slaveowners, many of whom he referred to by name, all while offering sobering reflections on the depravity of slavery. With a pen that Smallwood would call his 'lash', he leveraged mockery to flip the oppressive racial power structure of America - Smallwood even insisted copies of his dispatches be sent directly to the slaveholders he named. These dispatches, in which Smallwood was the first to in print use the now famous term 'The Underground Railroad', are the only accounts of escape to be written in real time, imbuing Smallwood's subversive wit with an immeasurable depth of urgency and defiance.Oftentimes left out of contemporary discussions of abolitionist writers, this collection of dispatches - edited by and featuring notes from Scott Shane, the author of the first book on the Smallwood's life - will introduce readers to Smallwood's influential writings and highlight one of the forgotten voices of abolitionism in the United States.

Twelve years after purchasing his freedom, Smallwood took to the press and, over a sixteen-month stretch starting in 1842, pseudonymously published newspaper dispatches ridiculing and excoriating enslavers by name and offering sobering reflections on the depravity of slavery. With the pen that Smallwood called his "lash," he leveraged mockery to flip the oppressive racial power structure of America. These dispatches, in which Smallwood was the first to use "underground railroad" in print, are the only accounts of escapes to be published in real time, imbuing Smallwood's subversive wit with urgency and defiance. His 1851 memoir is prescient on the United States' tormented entanglement with race.Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
