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.

The Atlantic was an echo chamber, in which abolitionist symbols, ideas, and evidence were generated from Cambridge Centre of African Studies SeriesSlave tradeGreat BritainHistorySlave tradeGreat BritainColoniesAmericaHistorySlave tradeAfricaHistoryAntislavery movementsGreat BritainHistoryImperialismSocial aspectsGreat BritainGreat BritainColoniesHistoryElectronic books.Slave tradeHistory.Slave tradeColoniesHistory.Slave tradeHistory.Antislavery movementsHistory.ImperialismSocial aspects326/.809171241Peterson Derek R.1971-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464122403321Abolitionism and imperialism in Britain, Africa, and the Atlantic2292193UNINA
