In Anadolu-Okur’s telling, the rhetorical relationships translated into radical thinking that transcended personal rivalries and reform priorities and transformed abolitionism. Anyone wanting to know the symbiosis of abolitionist style and substance will learn much from Anadolu-Okur’s insights. S...
