Editorial Reviews

Review

"It is a thoroughly researched study that moves beyond the "us-against-them" model that has characterizes much of the earlier scholarship, forcing scholars to recognize a more complex Spain, whose various economic and social actors clashed to produce contradictory and seemingly bizarre colonial policies."
--Colonial Latin American Historical Review


Product Description

EMPIRE AND ANTISLAVERY is an extensive study of the origins of the Spanish Abolitionist Society and its role in the destruction of Cuban and Puerto Rican slavery. Based on archival research in Spain, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the United States, it offers new perspectives on the political and cultural dynamics of Spanish colonialism and Antillean slavery in the nineteenth century. This work is broadly comparative and places the struggle over Antillean slavery in an Atlantic context.

5.0 out of 5 stars A major break through, April 9, 2000
By A Customer
Christopher Schmidt-Nowara has written an excellent book to understand the process that led to the abolition of slavery in the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, taking into account the latest developments in Cuban, Puertorrican, and Spanish history. This is an important new viewpoint: to understand the nineteenth-century history of Cuba and Puerto Rico it's necessary to have a fine understanding of Spain's colonial policy and the socio-economic links that these two colonies established with the metropolis. I consider this book a major break through, a very important book for any person interested in the history of the Caribbean, Latin America and/or Spain.
