Previous histories on O'Connell have dealt predominantly with his attempts to secure a repeal of the 1800 Act of Union and on his success in achieving Catholic Emancipation in 1829, Kinealy focuses instead on the neglected issue of O'Connell's contribution to the anti-slavery movement in the United States.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Kinealy rightly concludes that [O'Connell] deserves more recognition and respect for his consistent and powerful advocacy of human rights throughout the world. Recommended.' CHOICE 'Kinealy's work in this book valuably brings together O'Connell's very active career against human bondage and for racial equality in the nineteenth-century Atlantic World.' Journal of British Studies
