Its tale of suffering and the journey to redemption offered hope and a sense of possibility to people facing seemingly insurmountable evil.Exodus! shows how this biblical story inspired a pragmatic tradition of racial advocacy among African Americans in the early nineteenth century—a tradition based not on race but on a moral politics of respectability.

He then traces the roles that Exodus played in the National Negro Convention movement, from its first meeting in 1830 to 1843, when the convention decided—by one vote—against supporting Henry Highland Garnet's call for slave insurrection.Exodus! reveals the deep historical roots of debates over African-American national identity that continue to rage today.
