Klappentext zu „The American Crucible: Slavery, Emancipation and Human Rights “
For over three centuries, slavery in the Americas fuelled the growth of capitalism. The stirrings of a revolutionary age in the late eighteenth century challenged this 'peculiar institution' and set the scene for great acts of emancipation in Haiti in 1804, in the United States in the 1860s, and Brazil in the 1880s. Blackburn argues that the anti-slavery movement helped forge the political and social ideals we live by today.

Rezension zu „The American Crucible: Slavery, Emancipation and Human Rights “
"A brilliant and engaging account of slavery and its ending. This is a masterly analysis ... with significance not simply for historians of slavery. It is an important contribution to our understanding of the shaping of the modern western world."- James Walvin, BBC History Magazine "The American Crucible poses a challenge for the political future as well as a bold reappraisal of the historical past." - Stephen Howe, Independent "Blackburn describes emancipation in all its vexed, indeterminate grandeur, propelled by violent clashes, public debate, harrowing exposes, and the consolidation of new notions of freedom and equality." - Greg Grandin, Guardian
