Descrizione Abolitionism and Imperialism in Britain, Africa, and the Atlantic

The abolition of the slave trade is normally understood to be the singular achievement of eighteenth-century British liberalism. "Abolitionism and Imperialism in Britain, Africa, and the Atlantic" expands both the temporal and the geographic framework in which the history of abolitionism is conceived. These essays highlight the range of political and moral projects in which the advocates of abolitionism were engaged, and in so doing it joins together geographies that are normally studied in isolation. Where empires are often understood to involve the government of one people over another, "Abolitionism and Imperialism" shows that British values were formed, debated, and remade in the space of empire and that Africans played an active role in shaping, and extending, the values that Britain now regards as part of its national character. This book is therefore a contribution to the larger scholarship about the nature of modern empires.
