During the past decade, the problem of British slave emancipation
has generated considerable historiographical debate. Yet, until
now, this debate has emphasized the relative importance of ideals
and material self-interest in the British emancipation movement. In
Moral Imperium, Ronald Richardson offers a new assessment of the
relative importance of ideas, religious enthusiasm, national
interest, and political circumstances. Arguing that historians have
yet to develop an understanding of the impact of the Afro-Caribbean
population on the development of British anti-slavery thought in
general and the anti-slavery movement as a whole, he contends that
abolition and emancipation were carried out in the context of
British rule and were designed to create a social environment that
would be receptive to British needs.
