Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between slavery and freedom in different historical contexts, with a particular focus on the French Revolution. The author argues that the rhetoric of freedom was a central plank for both pro and antislavery groups, but that different factions interpreted and applied it in competing ways. The book delves into the nature of so-called âfree societies,â highlighting the many ways that they have often depended on unfree labor within colonial contexts. Drawing on literature, law, and archival research, the book challenges us to think critically about the meaning of freedom in a world where slavery has been and continues to be a global phenomenon. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of slavery and freedom, as well as the ways that these ideas continue to shape our world today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
