This collection of Davis' work includes essays on capital punishment, movements of counter-subversion, the iconography of race, the cowboy as an American hero, the historiography of slavery, and the British and American antislavery movements.

Davis's range and his gifts as a historian ... are truly remarkable ... This collection makes quite clear why David Brion Davis ranks as one of our most respected historians. * Georgia Historical Review *
David Brion Davis ranks among the most successful practitioners of sophisticated popular history. From Homicide to Slavery is a worthy testament to more than 20 years study of America's cultural past ... These essays embody an eloquent union of social and scholarly commitments. The Philadelphia Inquirer
Davis has produced a body of work that is remarkable for its range and its interdisciplinary concerns as well as for its depth and its sophistication. Journal of American History
rich in ideas, lean of prose, and the products of a first-rate mind. Library Journal
Davis writes excellently, an unusual quality in an historian. He has the knack of focusing sharply on individual events, bringing out their historical significance without losing a good story, yet he is just as comfortable with broader themes. His approach is refreshingly interdisciplinary. * Sage Race Relations Abstracts *
