Description
The Moment Is Now: Carl Bernhard Wadström's Revolutionary Voice on Human Trafficking and the Abolition of the African Slave Trade is a multidisciplinary effort by leading international scholars to demonstrate the influence that Carl Bernhard Wadström (1746-99) and the leading reformers of his time have had over the years on issues concerning the slave trade, oppression, and racism. As its title makes clear, this book not only offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history but also serves as a call to action and a primer to be used in the here and now. The Moment Is Now is the twenty-second installment in the Swedenborg Studies scholarly series.
