Dead Pundits Society

"Well, I do declayah!" -- this week we're joined by Matt Karp, Assistant Professor of History at Princeton University and frequent contributor to Jacobin Magazine, to talk about his new book, This Vast Southern Empire: Slaveholder and the legacy of slavery, race and class. We also talk about Matt's piece in The Nation on the legacy of Frederick Douglass and what kind of lessons we might learn from that era. So kill your slavemaster, grab a mint julep, take a seat on the porch, and tune in.
