This book re-examines the relationship between Britain and colonial
slavery in a crucial period in the birth of modern Britain. Drawing
on a comprehensive analysis of British slave-owners and mortgagees
who received compensation from the state for the end of slavery,
and tracing their trajectories in British life, the volume explores
the commercial, political, cultural, social, intellectual, physical
and imperial legacies of slave-ownership. It transcends
conventional divisions in history-writing to provide an integrated
account of one powerful way in which Empire came home to Victorian
Britain, and to re-assess narratives of West Indian 'decline'. It
will be of value to scholars not only of British economic and
social history, but also of the histories of the Atlantic world, of
the Caribbean and of slavery, as well as to those concerned with
the evolution of ideas of race and difference and with the
relationship between past and present.
