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. As the first
academic history of Britain's campaign to suppress the Atlantic
slave trade in more than thirty years, the 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. -- .
