Reviews
The thoughtful essays in this volume address the large-scale relationships of slavery and early modern capitalism. -- David Northrup, Boston College * American Historical Review *
Recommended. * CHOICE *
Tomich's approach proves very fruitful. . . . Historical and comparative sociologists of all specializations will do well to come to terms with the many methodological and theoretical insights that Tomich offers throughout the book. . . . [Makes] outstanding contributions to historical sociology. * American Journal of Sociology *
I commend the author for a well written and clearly organized text. . . . Tomich makes the reader rethink the totality of the relations of capital as presented by Marx. * Contemporary Sociology *
Not only a stimulating and rich use of the Atlantic history framework, but a muscular defense of the validity, even the necessity, of world history as a serious methodological project that can begin to breach [the] theoretical void. . . . Tomich brings a rigourous and exacting focus to the capitalism and slavery debate with particular attention to the role of the Caribbean as a test case for the uneven historical trajectory of modernity. . . . The essays . . . make a compelling case for using a world history framework that should be read not only by Atlanticists, but by any modern historian. . . . For students of international economy, Tomich's work provides a historical context for current inequalities and development trajectories, and actively challenges any two-dimensional view of the world. * Itinerario *
A provocatively illuminating book. This work opens new windows into the wider frameworks within which New World Slavery might be placed and better understood. -- David Barry Gaspar, Duke University
