      abstract = {Frederick Douglass, one of the most prominent figures in  African-American and United States history, was born a  slave, but escaped to the North and became a well-known  anti-slavery activist, orator, and author. In The Political  Thought of Frederick Douglass, Nicholas Buccola provides an  important and original argument about the ideas that  animated this reformer-statesman. Beyond his role as an  abolitionist, Buccola argues for the importance of  understanding Douglass as a political thinker who provides  deep insights into the immense challenge of achieving and  maintaining the liberal promise of freedom. Douglass,  Buccola contends, shows us that the language of rights must  be coupled with a robust understanding of social  responsibility in order for liberal ideals to be realized.  Truly an original American thinker, this book highlights  Douglass's rightful place among the great thinkers in the  American liberal tradition.},
