Ireland, slavery and the Caribbean interrogates the complex relationship between two island archipelagos at the peak of the slave economy. Employing a broad range of islands, sources, sites, and methods creates a transnational, trans-imperial and interdisciplinary history of Ireland, slavery and the Caribbean. -- .

Ireland, slavery and the Caribbean is a complex and ground-breaking collection of essays. Grounded in history, it integrates perspectives from art historians, architectural and landscape historians, and literary scholars to produce a genuinely interdisciplinary collection that spans from 1620-1830: the high point of European colonialism. By exploring imperial, national and familial relationships from their building blocks of plantation, migration, property and trade, it finds new ways to re-create and question how slavery made the Atlantic world. -- .
