Brian Kelly, ‘Slave Self-Acitivty and the Bourgeois Revolution in the United 
States: Jubilee and the Boundaries of Black Freedom,” Historical Materialism 
27.3 (2019): 31-76.

"What is needed urgently...is a frame- work that can move beyond the 
juxtaposition between high politics and slave self-activity and map, with some 
precision, the convergences and antagonisms between the bourgeois revolution 
and ground-level slave initiative. The point is not to find a middle ground 
between high politics and black agency, but to offer a framework that can 
explain their essential, dynamic interaction in the most important 
revolutionary upheaval in US history and offer a coher- ent explanation for 
Washington’s ultimate failure to deliver on the promise of black freedom. 
Potentially, such an interpretation offers a key not only to un derstanding the 
dynamics of wartime emancipation, but to the whole of the period analysed by Du 
Bois (1860–80) – tumultuous years encompassing war, the attempt to construct 
bi-racial democracy in the liberated South, and the decisive defeat of that 
project in Reconstruction’s violent overthrow."

Louis:

Not on the list—only have a look now and then. I saw you posted something on 
the Irish and slavery, and that it has generated some reaction. I’ve got an 
extended chapter on Irish immigrants in the US and their relationship to 
slavery/antislavery here:

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-40784-5_7 


An expensive volume but I will try to post a pdf of the chapter in the next few 
days. In it I disagree both with the who want to use ‘Irish slavery’ as a 
racist counterpoint to BLM and with the Rennix piece you link to, which is a 
rehash of some of the ‘critical whiteness’ stuff.
