The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Revolution,… di David Brion Davis

This was a good read. I can’t really say that it was “fun” due to it’s topic, but it was certainly interesting. Davis brought up points in the book that I hadn’t thought of, although I don’t necessarily agree with each major point he made. Although all of the points he made were valid, backed up, and understandable. I do recommend this as a read, but my copy is another dated publication, and it may be hard to get your hands on it.

Inhuman Bondage: The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the… di David Brion Davis

Essential Reading

If you want to know the history of chattel slavery, and its eventual destruction in the Caribbean and the US, Inhuman Bondage is the book for you. Insightful, detailed, and comprehensive, the book covers slavery from ancient times, to its focus on Africans in the transatlantic slave trade, through its destruction in the British Empire and the US, with brief coverage of the end of slavery in Cuba and Brazil.
