Book Description:
|
Based on little-examined printed and archival sources, this book explores the fundamental ideas behind early French thinking about Atlantic slavery, c. 1620-1750. It analyses the three central questions of what made one a slave, of what was unique about Caribbean labour, and the implications of strategic approaches in interacting with slaves.
