Hart's discussion on slavery has even larger scope ranging from early Arab, African and Portuguese practices in Africa and beyond to the legal abolition of slavery in the British empire, the United States and elsewhere in the Nineteenth-century. 606 $aColonies$zAmerica 606 $aImperialism 606 $aSlavery 607 $aEurope$xTerritorial expansion 615 0$aColonies 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aSlavery. 676 $a325.7 700 $aHart$b Jonathan Locke$f1956-$0899056 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784219803321 996 $aContesting empires$93704995 997 $aUNINA
