Tropical Freedom: Climate, Settler Colonialism, and Black Exclusion in the Age of Emancipation
Ikuko Asaka
Ikuko Asaka examines emancipation's intersection with settler colonialism in North America, showing how emancipation efforts in the United States and present-day Canada were accompanied by attempts to relocate freed blacks to tropical regions, thereby conceiving freedom as a racially segregated condition based upon geography and climate.
