When the full abolition of slavery appeared on the political agenda
in the Atlantic world the institutional arrangements that
underpinned the peculiar institution changed dramatically. Although
many have studied these transformations, their urban dimension has
remained underappreciated. The contributions to this volume offer
an in-depth look at cities in the British and French Caribbean, the
United States, West-Central Africa, Brazil, and South Africa.
Rather than treating urban slavery as a more benign counterpoint to
the brutal plantation complex, the articles explore how cities were
part and parcel of slave societies and demonstrate how methods of
control as well as routes to emancipation changed in the century
before emancipation. Urban slavery has greatly impacted urban
landscapes and its legacy as well as practices of remembrance and
memorialization can be found in many former slave societies.
