Drawing upon more than a decade's worth of archival research into nineteenth-century antislavery newspapers, pamphlets, broadsides, and more, Range highlights the expansiveness of the movement by focusing not on one, but a chorus of abolitionist voices. Her investment in celebrating Black and women's histories, in particular, offers an inclusive account of American history, informed not only by thorough research but through a formal, poetic engagement with the past. In exploring how enslaved people's self-emancipation was a form of resistance that preceded, operated alongside, and intertwined with organized networks of antislavery activists, \u003ci\u003ePrinter's Fist\u003c\/i\u003e will help facilitate discussions surrounding race, gender, and activism that are grounded in historical fact and emotional truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67393040449581,"sku":"WHS-69c81021b2034ed4ba46fe72afbaf91a","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_eed91a2f-eb78-4032-bd56-2b0a8ec5ad8d.jpg?v=1787370755","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/printers-fist-poems","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
