HENRY HIGHLAND GARNET – THE VOICE OF RADICAL AFRICAN — AMERICAN ABOLITIONISM IN THE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
This article tells about the life and ideological and political views of one of the most influential representatives of the abolitionist movement and African-American socio-political thought of the XIX century. Many works have been written about Henry Highland Garnet, but in Russian historiography, the activities of this outstanding man have never been subjected to serious scientific reflection. All references to him are episodic. This study is designed to fill this gap in Russian historical science. The main emphasis in it is on the presentation of the biography of this figure and the analysis of his ideological and political views in the context of the development of the abolitionist movement. The main research methods are narrative, historical-descriptive, comparative-historical, allowing to draw the necessary parallels with other prominent representatives of African-American abolitionism and pan-Africanism, such as Paul Cuffee and Martin Robinson Delany. The work is based on an extensive source base, using the research of leading Western experts on these issues.
Keywords: Henry Highland Garnet, Frederick Douglass, Martin Robinson Delany, abolitionism, pan-Africanism, repatriation, movement for the rights of the African-American population, slavery, slave trade, African-American history (Black History)
