Abstract

Abstract:The American Revolution in Black and White compares Black and white responses to the American colonists’ struggle for freedom from British domination. Focused on colonists who rallied in support of independence, it contends that although Americans on both sides of the color line mobilized around natural rights ideology, Black and white patriots were far too divided by race and class to understand the revolutionary rhetoric they embraced the same way. While Jefferson and other slave-holding patriot leaders saw declaring independence as a natter of state-making, Black patriots such as New Englander Lemuel Haynes pushed for a more expansive understanding of the colonist’s struggle for political freedom, and read the Declaration of Independence as a liberty-making document.

摘要:《黑与白中的美国革命》比较了黑人和白人对美国殖民者为摆脱英国统治而进行的斗争的反应。该书以集会支持独立的殖民者为重点,论证了尽管肤色线两边的美国人都围绕自然权利意识形态进行动员,但黑人和白人爱国者因种族和阶级的差异而无法以同样的方式理解他们所接受的革命言论。杰斐逊和其他拥有奴隶的爱国者领袖将宣布独立视为建立国家的废话,而新英格兰人莱缪尔-海恩斯等黑人爱国者则力图更广泛地理解殖民者争取政治自由的斗争,并将《独立宣言》解读为一份创造自由的文件。
