Caroline Elkins, author of Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire "Beginning with Adekeye Adebajo's magisterial introduction, this volume canvasses the successive calamities for Africa of slavery and colonialism, their contemporary legacies, and the reparations movement's efforts to interrupt their future transmission. This extraordinary collection is essential reading for anybody seeking to engage with the world-leading scholarship on these critical themes." Thula Simpson, author of History of South Africa: From 1902 to the Present This book demonstrates the continuities of five centuries of European-led slavery and colonialism in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas, examining calls for reparations in all three regions for what many now regard to have constituted crimes against humanity. The Atlantic world economy emerged from the interactions of this triangular slave trade involving human chattel, textiles, arms, wine, sugar, coffee, tobacco, and other goods. This is thus the story of the birth of the modern capitalist system and a Black Atlantic that has shaped global trade, finance, consumer tastes, lifestyles, and fashion for over five centuries. The volume is authored by a multi-disciplinary, pan-continental group encompassing diverse subjects. This collection is concise and comprehensive, enabling cross-regional comparisons to be drawn, and ensuring that some of the most important global events of the past five centuries are read from multiple perspectives.
