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.

Thomas Clarkson (1760-1846) was a leading campaigner against slavery and the African slave trade. After graduating from St. John's College, Cambridge in 1783, Clarkson with Granville Sharp (1735-1813) founded the Committee for the Abolition of the African Slave Trade in 1787, the main campaigner behind the abolition of the slave trade. These volumes, first published in 1808, contain a unique contemporary account of the abolition movement from one of its major leaders. Clarkson describes in great detail the Quaker background to the abolitionist movement and the parliamentary debates leading to the Slave Trade Act of 1807. The contemporary arguments both in support and in opposition to abolition and the researches and actions of the abolition movement's members are described. Volume 1 contains the early history of the abolition movement until July 1788.

Dexter J. Gabriel's Jubilee's Experiment is a thorough examination of how the emancipated British Caribbean colonies entered into the debates over abolition and African American citizenship in the US from the 1830s through the 1860s. It analyzes this public discourse, created by black and white abolitionists, and African Americans more generally in antebellum America, as both propaganda and rhetoric. Simultaneously, Gabriel interweaves the lived experiences of former slaves in the West Indies - their daily acts of resistance and struggles for greater freedoms - to further augment but complicate this debate. An important and timely intervention, Jubilee's Experiment argues that the measured success of former slaves in the West Indies became a crucial focal point in the struggle against slavery in antebellum North America.
