Abstract

W. E. B. Du Bois was a public intellectual, sociologist, and activist on behalf of the African American community. He profoundly shaped black political culture in the United States through his founding role in the NAACP, as well as internationally through the Pan-African movement. DuBois's sociological and historical research on African-American communities and culture broke ground in many areas, including the history of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. Du Bois was also a prolific author of novels, autobiographical accounts, innumerable editorials and journalistic pieces, and several

Abstract

La période couverte par l'ouvrage s'étend du XVIIe siècle qui vit l'apparition et le développement des activités liées à la traite jusqu'à l'abolition définitive de l'esclavage en 1848. Du terrifiant Code Noir de Colbert, régissant le statut des esclaves, au décret du 16 pluviôse an II abolissant une première fois l'esclavage, des archives d'armateurs, de négociants, de compagnies d'actionnaires et de propriétaires d'habitations aux fonds documentaires qui éclairent le quotidien des esclaves (actes notariés, état civil, etc.), la diversité et la richesse des fonds qui sont répertoriés de façon exhaustive font de ce guide un ouvrage de référence indispensable aux chercheurs qui entendent faire progresser la recherche historique. Pour permettre également à un plus large public de s'initier à cette histoire, l'ouvrage est enrichi d'une introduction historique, d'une bibliographie prenant en compte les publications et les ressources sur papier et électroniques, d'une chronologie, d'un glossaire des termes spécifiques à la traite et à l'économie esclavagiste, de fiches synthétiques éclairant la typologie de tel ou tel document, l'histoire d'une institution ou d'une procédure juridique parfois redoutablement complexe mais qui a généré des archives d'une extraordinaire richesse.

Abstract

In his 1999 book, Disposable People, Kevin Bales brought to light the shocking fact of modern slavery and described how, nearly two hundred years after the slave trade was abolished (legal slavery would have to wait another fifty years), global slavery stubbornly persists. In Ending Slavery, Bales again grapples with the struggle to end this ancient evil and presents the ideas and insights that can finally lead to slavery's extinction. Recalling his own involvement in the antislavery movement, he recounts a personal journey in search of the solution and explains how governments and citizens can build a world without slavery.

Abstract

Two epochal developments profoundly influenced the history of the Atlantic world between 1770 and 1870-the rise of women's rights activism and the drive to eliminate chattel slavery. The contributors to this volume, eminent scholars from a variety of disciplines, investigate the intertwining histories of abolitionism and feminism on both sides of the Atlantic during this dynamic century of change. They illuminate the many ways that the two movements developed together and influenced one another.Approaching a wide range of transnational topics, the authors ask how conceptions of slavery and gendered society differed in the United States, France, Germany, and Britain; how women's activism reached across national boundaries; how racial identities affected the boundaries of women's activism; and what was distinctive about African-American women's participation as activists. Their thought-provoking answers provide rich insights into the history of struggles for social justice across the Atlantic world.
