The Chinese edition of the multiple-award winning The Slave’s Cause: A History of Abolition (Yale University Press, 2016) was translated by Professor Li Dan of Nanjing University and published in two volumes in 2025. The book, which was also long listed for the National Book Award for non-fiction, expands the chronology of the abolition movement, extending its history from theAmerican Revolution to the Civil War. It reimagines abolition as an international social movement, centering slave resistance in its development and exploring its overlap with other contemporary radicalisms, such as feminism, utopian socialism, anti-imperialism and struggles for labor, immigrant, and indigenous rights and sovereignty.
