Abstract

Détruire l’esclavage. Perspectives transnationales sur l’abolitionnisme américain (1776-1865) est un recueil de sept essais rédigés par des spécialistes français de l’abolition de l’esclavage aux États-Unis. Les auteurs placent l’abolitionnisme américain dans un contexte transnational et montrent comment des esclaves fuyant au Canada, des Noirs libres émigrant à Haïti et des activistes se retrouvant dans un salon parisien ont influencé, chacun à leur façon, le destin de l’esclavage aux États-Unis. Dans le prolongement de récentes tendances historiographiques, l’abolitionnisme y est abordé sur le temps long. Une attention particulière est également apportée à la culture imprimée abolitionniste - romans, journaux, livres-albums et almanachs antiesclavagistes, brochures et sermons rédigés par des activistes noirs. L’ouvrage est préfacé par Manisha Sinha, auteure d’un livre remarqué sur l’abolitionnisme aux États-Unis, The Slave’s Cause: A History of Abolition Undoing Slavery: American Abolitionism in Transnational Perspective (1776-1865) is a collection of seven essays by leading and emerging scholars of abolition in France. Contributors to the volume situate American abolitionism in a transnational framework, pointing out how slaves running away to Canada, free African Americans emigrating to Haiti and activists meeting in a Paris salon all influenced the fate of slavery in the United States. In the wake of recent historiographical trends, they extend not only the geography but also the chronology of abolitionism, attending to its development and evolutions over the longue durée. Special emphasis is also placed on the varied print culture of abolition, from antislavery novels, newspapers, gift books and almanacs to black-authored pamphlets and printed orations on the abolition of the slave trade. Undoing Slavery is prefaced by Manisha Sinha, author of the award-winning The Slave’s Cause: A History of Abolition.

Abstract

In Search of Liberty explores how African Americans, since the founding of the United States, have understood their struggles for freedom as part of the larger Atlantic world. The essays in this volume capture the pursuits of equality and justice by African Americans across the Atlantic World through the end of the nineteenth century, as their fights for emancipation and enfranchisement in the United States continued. This book illuminates stories of individual Black people striving to escape slavery in places like Nova Scotia, Louisiana, and Mexico and connects their eff orts to emigration movements from the United States to Africa and the Caribbean, as well as to Black abolitionist campaigns in Europe.By placing these diverse stories in conversation, editors Ronald Angelo Johnson and Ousmane K. Power-Greene have curated a larger story that is only beginning to be told. By focusing on Black internationalism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, In Search of Liberty reveals that Black freedom struggles in the United States were rooted in transnational networks much earlier than the better-known movements of the twentieth century.
