The Illicit Slave Trade in the Hispanic Atlantic World, 1807-1867
Fri, May 25, 9:00 to 10:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Panel
Abstract
The plantation boom in Cuba occurred during the period when the international trade in slaves was under increasing pressure from abolitionists and was banned through a series of treaties between Great Britain and slave holding and trading nations. The four papers of this panel focus on the deep tensions that existed within the Hispanic-Atlantic world as officials, slave traders, and economic actors worked to circumvent international law.
