Zusammenfassung
Taking a fresh look at anti-slavery debates in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, this book uncovers the structure, dynamics and flexibility of transatlantic abolitionism during the Age of Revolution. It reframes the abolition movement as a broad international network of activists across metropolitan centres and remote outposts.
