Masterfully stoking public opinion, the movement's leaders pioneered a variety of techniques that have been adopted by citizens' movements ever since, from consumer boycotts to wall posters and lapel buttons to celebrity endorsements. A deft chronicle of this groundbreaking antislavery crusade and its powerful enemies, Bury the Chains gives a little-celebrated human rights watershed its due at last.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \"Bury the Chains is by far the most readable and rounded account we have of British antislavery, a campaign that...helped to change the world and can be seen as a prototype of the modern social justice movement\"--Los Angeles Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2005","offers":[{"title":"Bury the Chains Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire's Slaves \/ Very Good","offer_id":53375530303780,"sku":"9780618619078VG","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_6fbcf9e8-8409-43db-93e0-36e4e0d7c684.jpg?v=1781793062","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780618619078","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
