The Great Mute Army Of Abolitionism. By Focusing On Male Leaders Of The Abolitionist Movement, Historians Have Often Overlooked The Great Grassroots Host Of Women Who Also Fought To Eliminate Slavery. Here, Julie Roy Jeffrey Explores The Involvement Of Ordinary Women—black And White—in The Most Significant Reform Movement Prior To The Civil War. She Offers A Complex And Compelling Portrait Of Antebsllum Women's Activism, Tracing Its Changing Conours Over Time. for Else Than Three Decades, Women Raised Money, Carried Petitions, Created Propaganda, Sponsored Lecture Series, Circulated Newspapers, Supported Third-party Movements, Became Public Lecturers, And Assisted Fugitive Slaves. Indeed, Jeffrey Says, Theirs Was The Day-to-day Work That Helped To Keep Abolitionism Alive. Drawing From Letters, Diaries, And Institutional Records, She Uses The Words Of Ordinary Women To Illuminate The Meaning Of Abolitionjsm In Their Lves, The Rewards And Challenges That Their Commitment Provided, And The Anguished Personal And Public Steps That Abolitionism Sometimes Demandded They Take. Whatever Their Position On Women's Rights, Argues Jeffrey, Their Abolitionist Activism Was A Radical Step—one That Challenged The Civil And Social Status Quo As Well As Conventional Gender Norms.

Populist Lure In Latin America. A New Brand Of Populist Politicians Has Risen To Power In The Late 1980s And 90s. They Have Kept The Manichaean And Moralistic Populist Discourse Of Their Predecessors While Pursuing Different Economic Programs. The Old Nationalist And Distributive Policies Of Past Populist Regimes Have Been Replaced By Neoliberal Policies That Have Privatized State Enterprises, Eliminated Protective Tariffs, And Concentrated Income.

Combining The Study Of Populist Discourse With One Analysis Of The Convivial And Political Setting For The Emergence And Pwrsistence Of Populism, De La Torre Argues That The Durableness Of Populism Is Explained By The Deficient Incorporation Of The Popular Sector's Into Latin American Democracies.
