The process of terminating the European Transatlantic Trade in Africans (TTA) was long and drawn-out. Although Africans, including the enslaved had long resisted its operation, abolition has traditionally been presented as a benevolent act by the British state acting under pressure from the intellectual classes and humanitarian activists. But the campaign to end the TTA cannot be separated from the resistance struggle of the Africans themselves.In Saving Souls: The Struggle to end the Transatlantic Trade in Africans, the companion volume to Trading Souls, noted Caribbean historians Hilary...

Slave Revolts in Puerto Rico
ISBN: 9781558764637 / Angielski / Miękka / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

"Slave Revolts in Puerto Rico" is a richly documented volume dealing with these expressions of collective resistance. The image of the docile and submissive slave presented by the prevailing historiography until very recently is no longer valid. Documents uncovered by Guillermo A. Baralt provide evidence of over...

In Rebellious Histories, Matthew J. Christensen argues that for...
