The publications were among the first voices for abolition of slavery in the Americas, and will add a special perspective to the grant, because they document the international context of American slavery. Principally British, they also include Brazilian, Dutch, French and Spanish materials documenting the supply of slaves and showing the institution of American slavery to be very much a part of Caribbean and colonial economics.
