Recenzii

"A splendid collection from luminaries in the field of Atlantic history, Biography and the Black Atlantic charts a coherent path toward a collective biographical project that will thoroughly recast our understanding of the modern Atlantic world."-James Sweet, University of Wisconsin, Madison "A fascinating and timely collection, written by some of the most important and outstanding scholars in Atlantic studies, which shows that the history of the Black Atlantic goes beyond the slave trade. Biography and the Black Atlantic allows us to reimagine how individuals negotiated this complex and evolving social, economic, and political space."-Randy J. Sparks, Tulane University
