The Work of Recognition: Caribbean Colombia and the Postemancipation Struggle for Citizenship
Jason McGraw
Tells the compelling story of postemancipation Colombia, from the liberation of the slaves in the 1850s to the country's first general labour strikes in the 1910s. As Jason McGraw demonstrates, ending slavery fostered a new sense of citizenship, one shaped both by a model of universal rights and by the particular freedom struggles of African-descended people.
