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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIreland, slavery and the Caribbean draws together a diverse group of contributors to explore the many and varied ways in which Ireland and the Caribbean share an interlocking Atlantic history. Irish identities stretched from indentured servants to great planters, and Irishmen were also subversive players in British imperial contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Caribbean was the crucible of Atlantic slavery and the plantation system that sustained it and this shared history is not always a comfortable one. Reluctant subjects of the first English empire, Irish people nevertheless enslaved others from 1620-1830 and were often at the cutting edge of extractive colonialism. Frequently inhabiting a convenient grey area between empires, Irish merchants and enslavers operated within the Danish, Spanish and French empires as well as the British empire. With many Irish people first experiencing colonialism at home, this opens a series of unusual avenues and rich ironies for the contributors to untangle and interrogate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Building on the sterling work of the Legacies of British Slave-ownership Project at University College London, as well as the pioneering scholarship of Nini Rodgers, this collection brings together the work of literary scholars, architectural historians, historians of colonialism, and art historians. The result is a novel exploration of the deep and complex relationship between two Island archipelagos in the 1620-1830 period of peak colonialism.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinola O'Kane is Professor in Architecture at University College Dublin \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCiaran O'Neill is Ussher Associate Professor in History at Trinity College Dublin\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 392\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.19 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 29, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52030286070061,"sku":"9781526150998","price":196.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/T0RDRTVYSEthV09WejFKc1E2UzRFdz09.webp?v=1777510028","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/ireland-slavery-and-the-caribbean-interdisciplinary-perspectives-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
