Societies After Slavery: A Select Annotated Bibliography of Printed Sources on Cuba, Brazil, British Colonial Africa, South Africa, and the British West Indies (Pitt Latin American Series)
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
"For decades, the phenomenal attention historians have given to all aspects of New World slavery has not been matched by equivalent knowledge of the postemancipation worlds. Historians of North America especially need to learn more about the consequences of slave emancipation in Africa and Latin America. This bibliography will become a crucial and standard source for everyone interested in the global meaning of African slavery, the African diaspora, and their enduring legacy." -David Brion Davis, Sterling Professor Emeritus, Yale University, and Director of Yale's Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition
"An important research tool for anyone interested in the social, economic, political, and ideological changes brought by the emancipation of slaves in the British West Indies, Spanish and Portuguese America, and Africa. The broadly inclusive coverage of both primary and secondary sources dealing with slave owners and non-owners, slaves and free persons of color including immigrant labor, the long time frame, the descriptive annotations, and the brief, insightful introductory essays make the bibliography invaluable for researchers at every level. Teachers who want to introduce their students to the subject and to original research in primary documents, those just beginning their investigations of a particular area, and specialists in one area seeking new insights by adding a comparative breadth to their research will all find this bibliography indispensable." -Harold Woodman, Purdue University
