African slavery was pervasive in Spain's Atlantic empire yet
remained in the margins of the imperial economy until the end of
the eighteenth century when the plantation revolution in the
Caribbean colonies put the slave traffic and the plantation at the
center of colonial exploitation and conflict. The international
group of scholars brought together in this volume explain Spain's
role as a colonial pioneer in the Atlantic world and its latecomer
status as a slave-trading, plantation-based empire. These
contributors map the broad contours and transformations of
slave-trafficking, the plantation, and antislavery in the Hispanic
Atlantic while also delving into specific topics that include: the
institutional and economic foundations of colonial slavery; the law
and religion; the influences of the Haitian Revolution and British
abolitionism; antislavery and proslavery movements in Spain; race
and citizenship; and the business of the illegal slave trade.
