Winner of the 2017 Frederick Douglass Prize A groundbreaking history of abolition that recovers the largely forgotten role of African Americans in the long march toward emancipation from the American Revolution through the Civil War Received historical wisdom casts abolitionists as bourgeois, mostly white reformers burdened by racial paternalism and economic conservatism. Manisha Sinha overturns this image, broadening her scope beyond the antebellum period usually associated with abolitionism and recasting it as a radical social movement in which men and women, black and white, free and enslaved found common ground in causes ranging from feminism and utopian socialism to anti-imperialism and efforts to defend the rights of labor. Drawing on extensive archival research, including newly discovered letters and pamphlets, Sinha documents the influence of the Haitian Revolution and the centrality of slave resistance in shaping the ideology and tactics of abolition. This book is a comprehensive new history of the abolition movement in a transnational context. It illustrates how the abolitionist vision ultimately linked the slave's cause to the struggle to redefine American democracy and human rights across the globe.

This blanket is exactly what I was looking for. I purchased the twin size but use it as a throw on my couch and all my guest love it. It is warm and snuggly.

GET IT! Luxurious, soft and modern
Color: Black, Size: King (108" x 90"), Color: Black, Size: King (108" x 90")
I don’t write many reviews, but had to for this one. This blanket is SO SOFT and it has a little weight to it. The king size is perfect and even a little longer than most king comforters. It is double sided, so the underside fuzz is a little shorter. It kept us warm but not too warm. If you overheat easily, this is perfect. I didn’t notice any shedding. I haven’t washed it yet but hopefully it won’t lose its luster once I do. I love the bubble pattern of the fur. The fur is luxurious and not cheap looking. It looks amazing on our bed.

Amazingly soft and beautifully made!
Color: Cream White, Size: Twin (60" x 80")
I was on the fence about purchasing this blanket as I was looking at other options and having trouble deciding. I ended up taking a chance on this one and I'm very happy with the result. This blanket is exceptionally soft and will keep you toasty warm. I keep mine at the end of my bed. It adds a cozy aesthetic to my bedroom. To put it simply, this blanket is both functional and beautiful.
Mine arrived in a air-sealed bag, but it fluffed right up the moment I opened the bag. I decided to wash mine before using it, however, it did not have any unpleasant smell that made me do so. My only reason for washing it is because I have allergies and sensitive skin, and it was more a precaution than anything else. Regardless, it washed up nicely and even after coming straight out of the washer was still fluffy and soft. If you also decide to wash your blanket, DO NOT put it in the dryer. You will absolutely ruin the faux fur if you do. I hung mine up on the staircase banister to dry overnight and it was ready to toss on my bed the next morning.
What I'm super impressed about with this blanket is that I haven't experienced any shedding whatsoever. I haven't found fur on my bed, there was no fur in the washer, nor have I found any tufts of fur after dragging it back and forth from my bedroom to the living room.
It's a quality blanket that looks exactly like the more expensive name brand ones, but without the hefty price tag. I'd also like to note that my cat LOVES laying on it. I'm going to order a smaller one specifically for him to put in the living room on his bed.
