The Real Abolitionists was written to bridge several historical gaps, particularly those concerning slavery in the Americas. The title of the book implies that prominent white people were not the originators of the abolitionist movement. In reality, they joined the struggle much later. Even though enslaved Africans did not have a structured or coordinated movement, their actions demonstrated that they fought tirelessly for their freedom and the abolition of slavery. The book begins with a statement made by the leader of Suriname's Ndyuka-Maroons, which was made during an interview in 1998, and literally summarises who they were, how they gained their freedom and the obstacles they still face today. It is followed by the Horrors of Slavery and Reparations, a topic that many white people would like to forget but which continues to resonate in the minds of millions of black people.
