  • The Slave Trade and the Origins of International Human Rights Law

    by Jenny S. Martinez ...
    There is a broad consensus among scholars that the idea of human rights was a product of the Enlightenment but that a self-conscious and broad-based human rights movement focused on international law only began after World War II. In this narrative, the nineteenth century's absence is conspicuous--few have considered that era seriously, much less written books on it. But as Jenny Martinez shows in ... Read more

    British Slavery in the Era of Abolition

    by Seymour Drescher ...
    In this classic analysis and refutation of Eric Williams’s 1944 thesis, Seymour Drescher argues that Britain’s abolition of the slave trade in 1807 resulted not from the diminishing value of slavery for Great Britain but instead from the British public’s mobilization against the slave trade, which forced London to commit what Drescher terms “econocide.” This action, he argues, was detrimental to ...
