Böcker av Gary B. Nash

Gary B. Nash was Professor Emeritus of History at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the author of numerous books, including Warner Mifflin: Unflinching Quaker Abolitionist, a biography of Anne Emlen Mifflin's husband. Emily M. Teipe is Professor Emerita of History at Fullerton College. Among her many publications are A Feminist Primer: Readings for Women's Studies and Different Voices: Women in United States History.

Writing in beautiful prose and marshalling fascinating evidence, Gary B. Nash constructs a convincing case that Warner Mifflin belongs in the Quaker antislavery pantheon with William Southeby, Benjamin Lay, John Woolman, and Anthony Benezet.

Covering more than two centuries of social, economic, and political change, and offering a challenging, innovative approach to urban as well national history, First City tells the Philadelphia story through the wealth of material culture its citizens have chosen to preserve.
