The Black Atlantic's Triple Burden: Slavery, Colonialism, and Reparations (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781526193025)

This volume demonstrates the continuities of five centuries of European slavery and colonialism in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas, examining calls for reparations in all three regions for crimes against humanity. Authored by eminent scholars largely based in these areas, it contributes to transforming educational curricula globally. This collection is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and enables cross-regional comparisons to be drawn, ensuring that important global events are read from diverse perspectives. The volume is aimed at subject area experts, as well as students in diverse areas of the humanities and beyond who seek a sound introductory reference book to these important historical subjects to which they are often not exposed. The authors thus represent a multi-disciplinary group encompassing diverse fields such as history, international relations, politics, economics, sociology, anthropology, literature, and languages. The book introduces readers to foreign-language historical sources--often inaccessible to an English-speaking audience--on these pivotal topics.
