Emancipation and the Remaking of the British Imperial World

Much is still unknown about the significance of the slave trade, slave-ownership and emancipation in the formation of modern imperial Britain. The essays in this book explore fundamental issues including the economic impact of slavery and slave-ownership, the varied forms of labour deployed in the imperial world, including hired slaves and indentured labourers, the development of the 19th century imperial state, slavery and public and family history, and contemporary debates about reparations.
