What makes this book particularly compelling is its refusal to oversimplify the global abolition of slavery to a single moral victory. Instead, it recognizes diverse international pressures and local dynamics. Beyond the act of abolition, it dives into its consequences and the subsequent collective memory, giving you a more complex, interconnected understanding of history. This could leave you with a newfound appreciation for the intricate tapestry of global history.
