Over the long nineteenth century, African-descended peoples used
the uncertainties and possibilities of emancipation to stake claims
to freedom, equality, and citizenship. In the process, people of
color transformed the contours of communities, nations, and the
Atlantic world. Although emancipation was an Atlantic event, it has
been studied most often in geographically isolated ways. The
justification for such local investigations rests in the notion
that imperial and national contexts are essential to understanding
slaving regimes. Just as the experience of slavery differed
throughout the Atlantic world, so too did the experience of
emancipation, as enslaved people's paths to freedom varied
depending on time and place. With the essays in this volume,
historians contend that emancipation was not something that simply
happened to enslaved peoples but rather something in which they
actively participated. By viewing local experiences through an
Atlantic framework, the contributors reveal how emancipation was
both a shared experience across national lines and one shaped by
the particularities of a specific nation. Their examination
uncovers, in detail, the various techniques employed by people of
African descent across the Atlantic world, allowing a broader
picture of their paths to freedom.

When Aung San Suu Kyi returned to her native Burma to tend to her
ailing mother, no one could have known that, within a few months,
the quiet woman would become a leader of her people. In 1989, after
Suu Kyi had worked only a year in Burma's renewed struggle for
democracy, the military government place her under house arrest.
The following years, while still confined to her home, Suu Kyi led
Burma's National League for Democracy to victory in a national
election. The military government refused to recognize the
election.
In 1991, still under arrest, Aung San Suu Kyi won the Nobel Peace
Prize. Upon her release from house arrest in 1995, thousands
flocked to Suu Kyi's home in Rangoon to hear her speak. There she
offered hope that democracy may yet blossom in Burma.
Whitney Stewart's biography, based on personal interviews with
Aung San Suu Kyi and those around her, illuminates the dangers
endured and the triumphs enjoyed by this inspiring woman, who has
been put back under house arrest in her homeland.
Additional materials by Burmese authors brings this fascinating
biography right up-to-date, including the Saffron Revolution of
2007.

Walt Disney always loved to entertain people. Often it got him into
trouble. Once he painted pictures with tar on the side of his
family's white house. His family was poor, and the happiest time of
his childhood was spent living on a farm in Missouri. His affection
for small-town life is reflected in Disneyland Main Streets around
the world. With black-and-white illustrations throughout, this
biography reveals the man behind the magic.
