After being forcibly transported across the Atlantic, enslaved Africans were relocated within Cuba, often being sold to owners in other Caribbean islands or the U.S. South. The chapters included in this book, written by historians and literary critics, pay close attention to the debates between abolitionists and proslavery ideologues, the movement of people and ideas from rural to urban areas, across different Caribbean islands, and from the United States or the coasts of West Africa to the sugarcane fields. They examine the various ways in which enslaved individuals escaped or were captured and coerced into relocation, how they mobilized information and ideas to improve their circumstances, and how they were exploited to serve the interests of others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters reveal that movement was frequently employed to reinforce enslavement and the suppression of rights, while also occasionally aiding individuals in their quest for freedom. This book serves as a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Latin American Literature, Global Slavery, and Postcolonial Studies. The chapters were originally published in the journal Atlantic Studies: Global Currents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 417g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 174 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032523354\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44572948693242,"sku":"9781032523354","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1694796496975_book.jpg?v=1695056933","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/slavery-mobility-and-networks-in-nineteenthcentury-cuba-9781032523354","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
