246 p., With the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 and the emancipation of all slaves throughout the British Empire in 1833, Britain washed its hands of slavery. Not so, according to Marika Sherwood, who sets the record straight in this provocative new book. In fact, Sherwood demonstrates Britain continued to contribute to and profit from the slave trade well after 1807, even into the twentieth century. Chapter 4 is about Cuba and Brazil, pp. 83-111.

Examines selected religious, political and literary discourses from and interdisciplinary perspective supported by theories of Michael Foucault and Jacques Derrida on discourse formation and intertextuality, demonstrates the ideological concepts of the colonizers, showing how these were later replaced by scientific theories that supported the ruling class in neglecting, mistreating, and dehumanizing the nonwhite population in the 2 countries." --Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol 58 Humanities, by Lawrence Boudon.

Notes:
340 p., Sailing the tide of a tumultuous era of Atlantic revolutions, a remarkable group of African-born and African-descended individuals transformed themselves from slaves into active agents of their lives and times. Reconstructs the lives of unique individuals who managed to move purposefully through French, Spanish, and English colonies, and through Indian territory, in the unstable century between 1750 and 1850. Mobile and adaptive, they shifted allegiances and identities depending on which political leader or program offered the greatest possibility for freedom.
