Description

By teasing apart the history of slavery into its major components and by examining those themes that recent historians have brought to the fore, this book makes sense of what has become a confused and confusing historical debate. Each chapter offers a guide to the most recent scholarship. The themes chosen - race, gender, resistance, domination and control - are those that currently engage the attention of the most innovative scholars in a range of disciplines. The comparative analysis of slavery throughout the English-speaking Americas gives new perspectives on the phenomenon. Written in a clear and lively style, Questioning Slavery is an up-to-date guide to slavery, to black historical experience and to on-going historical debates.
