Barbaric Traffic: Commerce and Antislavery in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World
Philip Gould
Studying the rhetoric of antislavery genres, Gould exposes the relation between antislavery writings and commercial capitalism. By distinguishing between good commerce—the importing of commodities that refined manners—and bad commerce, like the slave trade, the literature offered a critique and outline of acceptable forms of commercial capitalism.
