Recenzje

'Historians of black British history, the British Atlantic, and slavery studies will all find something rewarding in the book. Indeed, the Royal Historical Society deemed Beyond Slavery and Abolition worthy of its annual Whitfield Prize, an award that this novel work most certainly deserves.' Gary D. Sellick, H-Slavery
