David Walker's appeal is an uncomprimising African-centered discourse that attacks white injustices and advocates Black sekf-reliance. Its publication in 1830 intensified the debate and struggle against slavery. Walker asserted the right of Black people to defend themselves against a common enemy by any means neccessary. More than a petition against slavery, the Appeal is a foundational document from which many comtemporary themes in Black political philosophy have evolved.
