Recenzje

Edmund Burke and the British Empire in the West Indies provides the most comprehensive historical portrait to date of Burke's views on slavery and of his wider participation in the politics of the British West Indies. Whereas Burke's attitudes toward the American and Indian colonies are by now familiar to Burke readers and the informed public, Marshall's book has unlocked a new trove of material and insights that will sharpen our understanding of his engagement with Britain's Caribbean possessions.
