Herbert Klein's book makes several distinctive contributions to our understanding of the slave trade. It offers us the first systematic comparative study of major European slave traders based exclusively on archival sources. The author's minimization of the effect of overcrowded slave ships contributes to a longstanding debate regarding the mortality rate of the slaves. His emphasis of the African influences on the character of the slave trade offsets the more frequent emphasis placed on the European influences. Furthermore, Klein maintains that basic similarities existed among the slave-trading practices of all nations, with no one nation being any better than another. Using demographic and other quantitative data, Professor Klein describes the trans-Atlantic slave trade as it was practiced by all of the major European powers during the period of its maximum development. His work spans a century and a half of European trading activity and an area from Senegal to Mozambique in Africa and from the Chesapeake to Guanabara Bay in the Western hemisphere.

L’ouvrage que publie Victorien Lavou Zoungbo prolonge et renforce quelques unes des hypothèses de lecture qu’il avait précédemment formulées dans Du migrant-nu au citoyen différé... (PUP, 2003) au sujet du rapport paradoxal que les imaginaires caribéens et (latino) américains entretiennent avec ce que l’auteur désigne comme la "présence-histoire" des Noir-e-s. Outsidering... constitue cependant une incontestable avancée théorique et analytique dans les travaux de recherche de son auteur qui, cette fois ci, invite instamment à (re)penser sans complaisance aucune cette "liminalité" qu’il interroge comme productive et institutrice de Noir-e en Caraïbes/Amériques. De ce point de vue, le dialogue critique qu’il a établi avec certains penseurs de la "tradition universitaire anglo-saxonne" n’en devient que plus fécond. Résolument ancré dans l’Afro-Amérique, en tant que champ de production critique et intellectuelle, cet ouvrage transcrit aussi le parcours humain, universitaire et pédagogique de son auteur, notamment à travers le Groupe de Recherche et d’Études sur les Noir-e-s d’Amérique Latine (GRENAL) qu’il dirige et anime depuis une décennie au sein du Centre de Recherches Ibériques et Latino-Américaines de l’Université de Perpignan (CRILAUP).

Gender, Manumission, and the Roman Freedwoman examines the distinct problem posed by the manumission of female slaves in ancient Rome. The sexual identities of a female slave and a female citizen were fundamentally incompatible, as the former was principally defined by her sexual availability and the latter by her sexual integrity. Accordingly, those evaluating the manumission process needed to reconcile a woman's experiences as a slave with the expectations and moral rigor required of the female citizen. The figure of the freedwoman - fictionalized and real - provides an extraordinary lens into the matter of how Romans understood, debated, and experienced the sheer magnitude of the transition from slave to citizen, the various social factors that impinged upon this process, and the community stakes in the institution of manumission.
