      abstract = {Ernest revisits the work of 19th-century writers and  activists such as Henry "Box" Brown, Frederick Douglass,  Harriet Wilson, William Wells Brown, and Sojourner Truth,  demonstrating that their concepts of justice were far more  radical than those imagined by most white sympathizers. He  offers new principles of justice that grant fragmented  histories, partial recoveries, and still-unprinted texts  the same value as canonized works. His proposal is both a  historically informed critique of the field and an  invigorating challenge to present and future scholars of  African American literature.},
