Preface -- The duel dies -- Freeing Chinese feet -- Suppressing Atlantic slavery -- Wars against women -- Lessons and legacies.
Intertwining philosophy and historical narrative, Appiah has created a remarkably dramatic work, which demonstrates that honor is the driving force in the struggle against man's inhumanity to man--and the foundation of democractic movements such as the emancipation of women, slaves, and the oppressed.
