| Summary, etc. |
"The British Empire, in sentimental myth, was more free, more just and more fair than its rivals. But the claim that the empire, for all its flaws, promised liberty to all its subjects was never true. In intimate, human detail, Slave Empire shows how Britain's empire was built on sugar, tobacco and coffee plantations worked by enslaved African labourers and their descendents. With original research and synthesis of new scholarship, it explores two clashing visions of the British empire after emancipation. To abolitionist leaders in Britain, the end of slavery would usher in cheap wage labour on plantations and new missions to 'civilise' the formerly enslaved. To freedpeople, emancipation meant liberation and autonomy. There was no bright line between the brutality of plantation labour and the 'civilisation' that the empire promised to its subjects. Antislavery laws and policies disslved colonial slavery but preserved white supremacy. And as freedom - free elections, free labour, free trade - became a watchword in teh Victorian era, the Britisn empire was still sustined by the labour of enslaved people, in the United States, Cuba and elsewhere. Modern Britain has inherited the legacies and contradictions of a liberal empire built on slavery. Modern capitalism and liberalism emphasise 'freedom' - for individuals and for markets - but are built on human bondage"-- |
