A conversation with historian John Harpham about his new book, The Intellectural Origins of American Slavery, hailed as a “landmark account of the origins of American slavery showing how ancient Roman ideas were used to defend the establishment of a slave empire in the English Atlantic world.”
On our 250th anniversary, Harpham’s deep, original research helps answer the paradox of our nation’s original sin. We’re thrilled that John is taking time off from his book tour of major American and British cities to stop in Sandisfield.
Books will be available for purchase and signing by the author.
