Recenzje

The Politics of Reproduction is an interesting and multifaceted book, linking discussion of the parliamentary politics of the abolition debates with aspects of Caribbean social history ... This study therefore adds some valuable new perspectives to our understanding of the struggles over slavery and abolition in the British empire, but it is also certain to fuel ongoing debates about those struggles and their wider significance.
