The Problem of Emancipation: The Caribbean Roots of the American Civil War
[In 1874 a slave, working as a pearl diver in the Persian Gulf, swam away from the shore and clambered onto a Royal Navy vessel. The fugitive believed that the boards of the naval vessel constituted “free soil” and, on this occasion, he was not disappointed.1 That slaves in the Persian Gulf acted on the notion of “free soil” to achieve their liberty is just one of many demonstrations of the international connections that shaped abolitionist politics and practices in the nineteenth century. Abolitionism provided a tissue that connected high politics, popular associations, and the agency of the most oppressed individuals in changing social institutions, labour, economic and commercial relations, and international politics. The story of the exchange of these ideas across borders, the establishment of transnational networks, and the global legacy of anti-slavery for human rights and humanitarian politics today are the subjects of this collection of essays.]
