It contains a considerable amount of new information on the subject that is not easily available, detailing the political and economic background that led to payments to slave owners-never to slaves-in many colonies and nations, as well as the philosophical, moral, and legal contexts of these decisions.” “Between Blood and Gold is an excellent work of scholarship on an important historical topic.
“Beauvois has written the definite comparative study of compensating masters as part of a quid pro quo for emancipating their slaves…meticulously researched and well argued.” “Many decades from now, this book will still be the best source for the various forms that compensation took, the monetary component, who paid the bill, and who were the ultimate beneficiaries…a superb piece of scholarship.” Pleasant to read, this monograph will excite both students and scholars interested in the history of slavery and emancipation.” “This very well organized monograph… is well researched and brings to the forefront the complex issue of compensation within the abolition debate. “Providing a wealth of data on a neglected, long-forgotten compensation drive whose moral and philosophical foundations run counter to current beliefs, this makes an important contribution to understanding compensations and reparations.” Recommend to your Library Available in GOBI® Reviews If you are a professor requesting an examination copy.If you are a periodical or other publication reviewing our content.ISBN 978-1-78533-331-6 $135.00/£99.00 / Hb / Published (December 2016)īuy print book Hb View Cart Your country: - edit Buy the eBook from these vendors Request a Review or Examination Copy (in Digital Format) Sign up for our email newsletters to get customized updates on new Berghahn publications.Ĭlick here to select your preferences Between Blood and Gold The Debates over Compensation for Slavery in the Americas Frédérique Beauvois See Related History Journals Email Newsletters Series Volume 10 European Expansion & Global Interaction
