bookshelves: for-classes, history-and-non-fiction, i-own
Though somewhat dense at times, Blackburn's analysis of the decline and fall of slavery throughout the Americas in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. By examining a number of different cases in each chapter-- Haiti, Cuba and Brazil, abolition in the British Empire, etc.-- Blackburn is able to provide an immense amount of detail while still exposing trends and making generalizations. The only major fault I can find is that sometimes it just feels like the author is railing off an unending list of facts without necessarily connecting them all comprehensively. Though certainly not a book for the fainthearted, 'The Overthrow of Colonial Slavery' is an exceptional book which is a must-read for anyone interested in slavery in the Western world. ]]> <![CDATA[Ben added 'Choke']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78986105 Choke (Paperback) by Chuck Palahniuk
