David Mcnally: Slavery and Capitalism, Gebunden

Klappentext

"With rich and well-chosen evidence, McNally establishes the ways in which the history of enslavement is best understood within Marxist categories. He writes of unspeakable exploitation and human drama in a frame that never loses track of constant resistance."--David Roediger, author of An Ordinary White: My Antiracist Education
"David McNally's deft application of Marx's theory and method not only unearths the hidden dynamics of slavery's political economy but radically broadens our understanding of modern capitalism and its class struggles. The result: a new history of slavery that centers the enslaved--the chattel proletariat--not as 'constant capital' or fungible cogs in the machine but as its gravediggers."--Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Race Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class

"Slavery and Capitalism powerfully employs Marxist categories to provide new insights into the capitalist nature of New World slavery, the lives and labor of the enslaved, and, fundamentally, their resistance."--Pepijn Brandon, Professor of Global Economic and Social History, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and lead investigator of Amsterdam's historic connections to slavery
