""The Embarrassment of Slavery will make a major contribution to
the global history of slavery and colonialism as well as to U.S.
history in general. . . . Few if any of the hundreds of scholars
who have revolutionized our understanding of New World slavery and
abolition know that slavery became a central issue in the ensuing
debates over colonialism and Philippine independence. Michael
Salman fills this vacuum and greatly expands our historical
horizon. He also integrates the story of slavery in the Philippines
with an enriched interpretation of antislavery ideology."--David
Brion Davis, author of "The Problem of Slavery in Western Culture
and "Slavery and Human Progress, and Director of Yale University's
Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and
Abolition
"Based on a broad and careful consideration of archival sources,
Salman presents a wide range of materials that have often been at
the periphery of scholarship on colonial and national histories but
have never been treated systematically. Using the prism of
anti-slavery ideology and the lingering anxieties about slavery and
its opposite conditions, Salman is poised to make a crucial
intervention in the comparative study of twentieth century
colonialism. "The Embarrassment of Slavery is an original and
compelling work."--Vicente Rafael, author of "White Love and Other
Events in Filipino History and "Contracting Colonialism:
Translation and Christian Conversions in Tagalog Society Under
Early Spanish Rule
