The Chattel Principle : Internal Slave Trades in the Americas Paperback / softback
Edited by Walter Johnson
Part of the The David Brion Davis Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This wide-ranging book presents the first comprehensive and comparative account of the slave trade within the nations and colonial systems of the Americas.
While most scholarly attention to slavery in the Americas has concentrated on international transatlantic trade, the essays in this volume focus on the slave trades within Brazil, the West Indies, and the Southern states of the United States after the closing of the Atlantic slave trade.
The contributors cast new light upon questions that have framed the study of slavery in the Americas for decades.
The book investigates such topics as the illegal slave trade in Cuba, the Creole slave revolt in the U.S., and the debate between pro- and antislavery factions over the interstate slave trade in the South.
Together, the authors offer fresh and provocative insights into the interrelations of capitalism, sovereignty, and slavery.
