Freedom - Professor James Walvin

. .

Résumé :

'Long before the friends of African freedom had begun to agitate for black freedom, the enslaved themselves had created their own strategies of resistance. In time, their defiance was to prove the crucial final factor in bringing down slavery itself'
Freedom, James Walvin

Praise for James Walvin's Sugar:
'Shocking and revelatory . . . no other product has so changed the world, and no other book reveals the scale of its impact.' David Olusoga

'A brilliant and thought-provoking history of sugar and its ironies'
Bee Wilson, Wall Street Journal

An 'entertaining, informative and utterly depressing global history of an important commodity . . . By alerting readers to the ways that modernity's very origins are entangled with a seemingly benign and delicious substance, How Sugar Corrupted the World raises fundamental questions about our world.' Sven Beckert, the Laird Bell Professor of American History at Harvard University and the author of Empire of Cotton: A Global History, New York Times
