Abstract
This chapter explores the performative and political careers of two key radicals in the nineteenth century Black Atlantic, the Jamaican-born British proto-anarchist Robert Wedderburn (c.1762 -1835?) and the escaped slave and African American abolitionist, Henry Box Brown (c. 1815 - ?). It discusses their political meetings and polemical publications which enabled them to create an audience for their political interventions.
