Railroad communities of these two cities. All in all, Broyld’s work furthers Black diasporic studies and the historiography of nineteenth-century African American history. His extensive usage of primary sources unearths the lives of African Americans and offers greater insight into their experiences in these two cities. The U.S.-Canadian border was not a rigid line of division but a fluid entity which enabled Blacks to manipulate borders and exercise greater autonomy to ameliorate their lives. Borderland Blacks sheds light on the ways in which transnational identities and relationships were maintained and upheld in the hopes of collective liberation for Blacks. Broyld’s research also underscores the need for further investigation into the international dynamics of the Underground Railroad and the freedom networks beyond Canada.

from, white Europe. Despite Verney’s insights into the American imperial machine, the benefits of this system for white people are little explicated. Sometimes the discussion hints at middleand upperclass enthusiasm for imperialism, though beyond exploring popular engagement Verney does not extrapolate the economic rewards of empire for these classes and is comfortable with leaning on his bibliography for such claims. More could also be said on competing conceptions of empire within the United States. The culmination of Verney’s account tells us how the U.S. secured the respect of other imperial nations, particularly through Arctic exploration and the search for Sir John Franklin, but there is little acknowledgement of dissent, at times tantalizingly hinted at, against a U.S. eager to spread its mastery across the globe. What is nonetheless clear, whatever refuge one took in empire, it was only available to those who were white, and though Verney explores various imperial motivations there emerges a shared and dynamic framework that made sense of the world through a white gaze. Whether the pretensions were genteel or democratic, scientific or commercial, proslavery or antislavery, Verney’s account of antebellum maritime exploration offers a novel and intriguing investigation into an American collective imagination that was fundamentally imperial.
来自白色欧洲。尽管Verney对美国的帝国机器有深刻的见解，但这种制度对白人的好处却很少被阐明。有时，讨论暗示了中上层阶级对帝国主义的热情，尽管除了探索大众参与之外，Verney并没有推断帝国对这些阶级的经济回报，并且很乐意依靠他的参考书目来证明这种说法。在美国内部，关于帝国的不同概念也有很多可说的。凡尼的故事的高潮部分告诉我们，美国是如何获得其他帝国主义国家的尊重的，尤其是通过北极探险和寻找约翰·富兰克林爵士(Sir John Franklin)，但书中几乎没有承认反对美国渴望在全球范围内扩张其统治地位的异议，这些异议有时会引人入胜地暗示出来。尽管如此，显而易见的是，无论一个人在帝国中得到了什么庇护，它只适用于那些白人，尽管凡尼探索了各种帝国动机，但还是出现了一个共享的、动态的框架，通过白人的目光来理解世界。无论这些主张是文雅的还是民主的，是科学的还是商业的，是支持奴隶制的还是反对奴隶制的，凡尼对战前海上探险的描述，都为美国人的集体想象提供了一种新颖而有趣的调查，这种想象基本上是帝国主义的。

White presents an engaging and convincing case that the surprisingly amenable relationship forged between President Lincoln and African American visitors to his White House is worthy of the sustained attention it receives across the book. White’s study relies on a variety of sources, such as diaries, letters, manuscripts, memoirs, and newspapers. Through these sources, White extracts a fuller picture of Lincoln’s relationship with the African American community and gains a deeper insight into both the level of Lincoln’s commitment to the cause of emancipation and his desire to improve their place in society. White’s deft approach to his sources is particularly apparent in his analysis of Lincoln’s conversation with Frederick Douglass about the unequal treatment and wages of Black and white soldiers during the Civil War as well as in his use of a passionate speech given by Lincoln at the culmination of the war wherein he explained that “If a person shared in the responsibility of citizenship by fighting for the nation, then he deserved to exercise the privileges of citizenship as well” (p. 185). These evident positives aside, White’s persistent use of the term “slave” to describe enslaved African Americans and Africans merited greater explanation. Over the past several years, many historians have dropped the noun “slave” and replaced it with “enslaved” to highlight their humanity and the injustice of their status. White never addresses the reasons for his use of the term “slave,” but doing so might have helped make his aims and purpose clearer. Despite this concern, A House Built by Slaves (or enslaved African Americans) remains highly recommendable. Its short chapters, many around ten pages, make this an extremely accessible title for the undergraduate classroom. And the book has a beautiful and effective collection of photos. Indeed, White was especially prudent to include among his images only one photo of Lincoln and to make it one where the foreground of the image is shared between him and Sojourner Truth. By not including individual prints of the president, White avoids shifting the focus away from the key characters in his story – the African American visitors to the White House – and instead evocatively buttresses the signal achievement of his book, which shows to a degree others have not how the White House became a space for Black Americans to both speak and be heard.

ABSTRACT The notion of racial unity among poor whites conceals as much as it reveals about white society in the antebellum period. This article examines the extent to which the notion of “whiteness” united white Southern men across racial lines and muted class divisions in this period. Central to the discussion is a reconsideration of poor whites’ connection to slavery as a group of society positioned at the bottom of the Southern social order.
