From Slavery to Emancipation in the Atlantic World Paperback / softback

Edited by Sylvia R. Frey, Betty Wood

Part of the Routledge Studies in Slave and Post-Slave Societies and Cultures series

Paperback / softback

Description

This collection examines the effects of slavery and emancipation on race, class and gender in societies of the American South, the Caribbean, Latin America and West Africa.

The contributors discuss what slavery has to teach us about patterns of adjustment and change, black identity and the extent to which enslaved peoples succeeded in creating a dynamic world of interaction between the Americas.

They examine how emancipation was defined, how it affected attitudes towards slavery, patterns of labour usage and relationships between workers as well as between workers and their former owners.
