Description
“â€BOY LOST,†read the advertisement placed in a newspaper by the
father of one of the five free boys kidnapped in Philadelphia in 1825.
Richard Bellâ€s heartbreaking and searing account of their story
chronicles not only the agonies and atrocities of slavery, but the
fragility of freedom, and the dauntlessness of resistance.― - Jill
Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States
“Opening an unknown world from an unsung tragedy that started in early
national Philadelphia and stretched grimly South, Stolen offers a
wormâ€s eye view of the leviathan of American slavery, and of some of
its most dastardly perpetrators and its most remarkable survivors.
Richard Bell has researched inventively and mastered a vast body of
scholarship, as we would expect from so distinguished a historian. But
he also imbues his tale with the deep humanity of a great novelist. Both
riveting and heartrending, Stolen joins the great literature of
Americaâ€s founding tragedy, earning a place alongside the work of
Harriet Beecher Stowe, Edward P. Jones, and Toni Morrison.― –
Jane Kamensky, Jonathan Trumbull Professor of American History, Harvard
University“Stolen is historical storytelling at its best. Bell makes
brilliant detective work come alive with vivid, powerful writing. The
saga of these five boys, kidnapped and smuggled from Philadelphia to
Mississippi in the 1820s, captures both the powerful undertow of slavery
in the free black communities of the North and the urgent dawning of the
abolitionist movement. There's been nothing like it since Northup.― —
Adam Rothman, author of Beyond Freedom's Reach: A Kidnapping in the
Twilight of Slavery“Rigorously researched, heartfelt, and dramatically
concise, Bell's investigation illuminates the role slavery played in the
systemic inequalities that still confront Black Americans.― —Booklist
“A well-told story… A deep dive into the extraordinary risks faced
by free blacks in the antebellum era.― —Kirkus Reviews“A
fascinating story.―—Library Journal Read more Richard Bell teaches
Early American history at the University of Maryland. He has received
several teaching prizes and major research fellowships including the
National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar Award. His first
book, We Shall Be No More: Suicide and Self-Government in the Newly
United States, was published in 2012. Read more
