Transatlantic Abolitionism in the Age of Revolution offers a fresh
exploration of anti-slavery debates in the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries. It challenges traditional perceptions
of early anti-slavery activity as an entirely parochial British,
European or American affair, and instead reframes the abolition
movement as a broad international network of activists across a
range of metropolitan centres and remote outposts.
Interdisciplinary in approach, this book explores the dynamics of
transatlantic abolitionism, along with its structure, mechanisms
and business methods, and in doing so, highlights the delicate
balance that existed between national and international interests
in an age of massive political upheaval throughout the Atlantic
world. By setting slave trade debates within a wider international
context, Professor Oldfield reveals how popular abolitionism
emerged as a political force in the 1780s, and how it adapted
itself to the tumultuous events of the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries.
