Michael Strode’s Reviews > David Walker's Appeal {In Four Articles; Together With A Preamble, to the Coloured Citizens of the World, but In Particular, and Very Expressly, to Those of the United States of America} > Status Update

The Preamble of Walker's Appeal provides an intriguing context for the rise and influence of black liberation theology where the theological construct provided the last bastion of "free" intellectual inquiry. Walker mines the potentiality of biblical scripture in order to establish the strongest case for the abolition of slavery calling upon moral suasion, Pan-African struggle and armed self defense when necessary.
