| The thoughtful essays in this volume address the large-scale relationships of slavery and early modern capitalism. Dale W. Tomich opposes the practice of examining these relationships in isolated geographical contexts and apart from the larger historical changes taking place around them. He argues that only by placing the nexus of slavery and capitalism in a comparative global context and with a clear focus on cultural and economic contexts can their correct relationship be discovered. |
