Full Description
This book demonstrates the continuities of five centuries of European-led slavery and colonialism in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas, examining calls for reparations in all three regions for what many now regard to have constituted crimes against humanity. The Atlantic world economy emerged from the interactions of this triangular slave trade involving human chattel, textiles, arms, wine, sugar, coffee, tobacco, and other goods. This is thus the story of the birth of the modern capitalist system and a Black Atlantic that has shaped global trade, finance, consumer tastes, lifestyles, and fashion for over five centuries. The volume is authored by a multi-disciplinary, pan-continental group encompassing diverse subjects. This collection is concise and comprehensive, enabling cross-regional comparisons to be drawn, and ensuring that some of the most important global events of the past five centuries are read from diverse perspectives.
The Black Atlantic's Triple Burden: Slavery, Colonialism, and Reparations builds on the editor's 2020 38-chapter edited volume, The Pan-African Pantheon: Prophets, Poets, and Philosophers (Jacana and Manchester University Press), which won the prestigious Cambridge University Press African Studies Review prize in 2022 for Best Edited Volume at the African Studies Association of the United States. Adekeye Adebajo solely edits both.
The 28-chapter volume demonstrates the continuities of five centuries of European slavery and colonialism in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas, examining calls for reparations in all three regions for what many now regard to have been crimes against humanity. The chapters are authored by some of the most eminent scholars from Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas, and Europe. These academics are largely based in their regions, thus contributing substantively to efforts to transform educational curricula across the globe. This collection, therefore, seeks to be comprehensive and multidisciplinary and to enable cross-regional comparisons to be drawn, ensuring that important global events are read from diverse perspectives. The volume is also aimed at subject area experts, as well as students in diverse areas of the humanities and beyond who seek a sound introductory reference book to these important historical subjects to which they are often not exposed. The authors thus represent a multi-disciplinary group encompassing diverse fields such as history, international relations, politics, economics, sociology, anthropology, literature, and languages. The book also introduces readers to French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian historical and other sources on these important areas.
