Abstract

The transatlantic slave trade and the fugitive slave laws in the late 18th century led to a significant increase in the number of people seeking freedom. Runaway slaves were often aided in their escape by a growing network of people who saw slavery as morally reprehensible. This work explores this intriguing time in American history.

Abstract

This volume presents an account of West African slavery in Cuba and Bahia from 1790, arguing that the large numbers of slaves brought to the same plantations from the same areas of West Africa was a factor in many of the slave uprisings of the time, connecting people and events in a fascinating and unique narrative.

Abstract

"A celebrated revolution brought freedom to a group of enslaved people in northern India. Or did it?Millions of people today are still enslaved; nearly eight million of them live in India, more than anywhere else. This book is the story of a small group of enslaved villagers in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh who founded their own town of Azad Nagar—Freedomville—after staging a rebellion against their slaveholders. International organizations championed it as a non-violent'silent revolution'that inspired other villagers to fight for their own freedom. But Laura T. Murphy, a leading scholar of contemporary global slavery who spent years researching and teaching about Freedomville, found that there was something troubling about Azad Nagar's success. Murphy embarks on a Rashomon-like retelling—a complex, constantly changing narrative of a murder that captures better than any sanitized account just why it is that slavery continues to exist in the twenty-first century. Freedomville's enormous struggle to gain and maintain liberty shows us how realistic it is to expect radical change without violent protest—and how a global construction boom is deepening and broadening the alienation of impoverished people around the world."

Abstract

Longtemps, l'émancipation des esclaves fut considérée comme l'œuvre des abolitionnistes, libéraux et blancs. Dans cet ouvrage, qui fait pour la première fois le grand récit des insoumissions et des rébellions d'esclaves dans l'ensemble des Amériques et sur plus de trois siècles, Aline Helg déboulonne cette version de l'histoire. En s'appuyant sur une très riche historiographie fondée sur des sources états-uniennes, latino-américaines, antillaises, britanniques, françaises et néerlandaises, elle montre que, bien avant la naissance des mouvements abolitionnistes, une partie des millions d'esclaves arrachés à l'Afrique par la traite négrière et de leurs descendants était parvenue à se libérer, le plus souvent en exploitant les failles du système, à l'échelle locale ou globale. Cette étude pionnière par son ampleur dans le temps et l'espace met en lumière le rôle continu des esclaves eux-mêmes dans un long processus de lutte contre l'esclavage sur tout le continent américain et dans les Caraïbes, du début du XVIe siècle à l'ère des révolutions. Elle dévoile les stratégies qu'ils ont élaborées pour renverser subrepticement – et parfois violemment – un rapport de forces qui, dans son écrasant déséquilibre, ne leur laissait a priori rien espérer. Sans magnifier le rôle des esclaves ni occulter les limites de leurs actions, ce grand récit montre que l'esclavagisme déshumanisant n'est pas parvenu à empêcher que des hommes, des femmes et des enfants accèdent, par leurs propres moyens, à la liberté.
