In Abolitionist Geographies, Martha
Schoolman contends that antislavery writers consistently refused standard
geographical terms, instead expressing their dissenting views by appealing to

axes. Schoolman reveals abolitionist literature's explicit and intentional
investment in geography as an idiom of political critique, by turns liberal and
radical, practical and utopian.
