The Rise of African Slavery in the Americas
ISBN: 9780521655484 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Exploring the paradox of the concurrent development of slavery and freedom in the European domains, The Rise of African Slavery in the Americas provides a fresh interpretation of the development of the English Atlantic slave system.

It also addresses changing patterns of group identity to account for the racial basis of slavery in the early modern Atlantic World.
