Description
Ireland, slavery and the Caribbean is a complex and ground-breaking collection of essays. Grounded in history, it integrates perspectives from art historians, architectural and landscape historians, and literary scholars to produce a genuinely interdisciplinary collection that spans from 1620-1830: the high point of European colonialism. By exploring imperial, national and familial relationships from their building blocks of plantation, migration, property and trade, it finds new ways to re-create and question how slavery made the Atlantic world.

Reviews
Natalie A Zacek provides a sharply contemporary perspective on public debate and identity, deconstructing, inter alia, the 'Irish Slave' meme in 'How the Irish became black'. This invaluable publication disentangles the polarities of subjects and agents, insularity and global dynamics.
