From David Brion Davis's The Problem of Slavery in the Age of
Revolution to Paul Gilroy's The Black Atlantic, some of the most
influential conceptualizations of the Atlantic World have taken the
movements of individuals and transnational organizations working to
advocate the abolition of slavery as their material basis. This
unique, interdisciplinary collection of essays provides diverse new
approaches to examining the abolitionist Atlantic. With
contributions from an international roster of historians, literary
scholars, and specialists in the history of art, this book provides
case studies in the connections between abolitionism and material
spatial practice in literature, theory, history and memory. This
volume covers a wide range of topics and themes, including the
circum-Atlantic itineraries of abolitionist artists and activists;
precise locations such as Paris and Chatham, Ontario where
abolitionists congregated to speculate over the future of, and
hatch emigration plans to, sites in Africa, Latin America and the
Caribbean; and the reimagining of abolitionist places in twentieth
and twenty-first century literature and public art. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies.
