This work covers the story of an important antebellum reform movement: ecclesiastical abolitionism. It covers the struggle among the most radical religions to purge their churches and society of sin; especially slavery; and their uncompromising efforts to force morality into political discourse.

It attempts to include a number of notables; not just the ones usually mentioned in books about Italian Americans. Also; the material presents a solid; complex understanding of this group of largely misunderstood and mischaracterized ethnic Americans. I applaud their effort and will also say they are due for an updated; even more inclusive and substantial version. Grazie!2 of 14 people found the following review helpful. InaccurateBy Cosmic Den MotherApparently; the author did not do very comprehensive research. My great; great grandfather; Francis Henry Forno is listed in this book. However; he was not Italian; he was a Frenchman from New Orleans. As the family genealogist; I find it rather upsetting that future generations could be sent on a wild goose chase looking for our family in the wrong country. I contacted Taylor and Francis two years ago and asked them if there was going to be a re-print; could they please fix this error. It seems they opted not to.
