Krátky popis
'It's often said that books are compulsory reading, but this book
really is compulsory. You cannot understand slavery, or British
Empire, without it' Sathnam Sanghera Arguing that the slave trade
was at the heart of Britain's economic progress, Eric Williams's
landmark 1944 study revealed the connections between capitalism and
racism, and has influenced generations of historians ever since.
Williams traces the rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade
through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to show how it laid
the foundations of the Industrial Revolution, and how racism arose
as a means of rationalising an economic decision.Most
significantly, he showed how slavery was only abolished when it
ceased to become financially viable, exploding the myth of
emancipation as a mark of Britain's moral progress. 'Its thesis is
a starting point for a new generation of scholarship' New Yorker
