Slavery and the Rise of the Atlantic System By Barbara L. Solow
Publisher: Cambridge University Press 1991 | 365 Pages | ISBN: 0521400902 | PDF | 8 MB
'The great virtue of this 'Atlantic system' approach is that it forces American historians, in particular, to sidestep the exceptionalism that bedevils their historiography and to confront the fact that slavery is a part of the history of the Atlantic and not just of what later became their own nation-state. It is also the focus on the Atlantic world that gives this collection of pieces covering an enormous geographical area a coherence that is unusual in conference proceedings.' Georgia Historical Quarterly.
