Au-delà de l’Atlantique noir de Paul Gilroy, l’Atlantique de l’esclavage, notion englobante dont les frontières vont jusqu’au cœur des continents, a cependant été en permanence retravaillé par des subdivisions linguistiques (l’Atlantique lusophone, francophone, anglophone…) ou hémisphériques (Atlantique Sud, Nord). Ce livre, au contraire, bouscule ses frontières : il se pose comme une histoire croisée entre l’Atlantique Sud et l’Atlantique Nord, entre un espace lusophone et un autre, francophone entre des dates d’abolition de l’esclavage diachroniques. Il tente d’en définir les liens, les effets de convergence tout autant que de différences. Cet ouvrage rassemble douze historiens pour penser les liens entre esclavage, post-esclavage, citoyenneté et subjectivité, entre le xviie et le xxe siècles. Beyond the black Atlantic of Paul Gilroy, the slavery Atlantic, an inclusive concept whose borders extend to the heart of the continents, has, however, been continuously reworked by linguistic subdivisions (the Portuguese-speaking, French-speaking and English-speaking Atlantic, etc.) or the hemisphere (South Atlantic, North Atlantic). On the contrary, this book covers its borders: it is a cross history between the South Atlantic and the North Atlantic, between a Portuguese-speaking area and another French-speaking area; between dates of abolition of diachronic slavery. It attempts to define links, convergence effects as well as differences. This book brings together twelve historians to think about the links between slavery, post-slavery, citizenship and subjectivity, between xviia and the 20th centuries.
