Description

Explore the complex origins of British abolitionism in The Unnatural Trade by Brycchan Carey. Published by Yale University Press, this historical study examines how eighteenth-century science, economics, and humanitarianism shaped the movement to end the slave trade. Through an analysis of slavery in the Americas and the Caribbean, alongside accounts from travelers in West Africa, the text investigates how abolitionists began to view the slave trade as a dread perversion of nature. The book highlights how natural histories served as a primary source of information for British and colonial readers before the mid-eighteenth century. This work provides a deep look into how environmental writing and scientific thought influenced the fight against colonial slavery.
