Slavery and Emancipation in Comparative Perspective: A Look at Some Recent Debates
审视了关于奴隶制在新世界定居中的作用、19世纪作为经济制度的可行性以及美洲奴隶解放的原因与后果的近期争论，并与农奴制、自由劳动等制度进行比较。
This paper examines several recent arguments about the role of slavery in the settling of the New World, the viability of slavery as an economic institution in the nineteenth century, and the causes and consequences of slave emancipation in the Americas. Comparisons are made between the analysis of slavery and that of other labor institutions, such as serfdom and free labor.
