The suppression of the Atlantic slave trade has puzzled
nineteenth-century contemporaries and historians since, as the
British Empire turned naval power and moral outrage against a
branch of commerce it had done so much to promote. The assembled
authors bridge the gap between ship and shore to reveal the
motives, effects and legacies of this campaign. This paperback
edition is the first academic history of Britain's campaign to
suppress the Atlantic slave trade in more than thirty years, and
book gathers experts in history, literature, historical geography,
museum studies and the history of medicine to analyse naval
suppression in light of recent work on slavery and empire. Three
sections reveal the policies, experiences and representations of
slave-trade suppression from the perspectives of metropolitan
Britons, liberated Africans, black sailors, colonialists and naval
officers. -- .
