What are the particularities of abolitionism in Latin America and what are its connections with contemporary anti-slavery movements in the British and French Atlantic worlds? These two panels with Emily Berquist (History, California State), Celso Castilho (History, Vanderbilt), Jason McGraw (History and American Studies, Indiana), and Chris Schmidt-Nowara (History and Spanish Culture & Civilization, Tufts) will focus on the trajectory of anti-slavery in Latin America, examining early struggles for freedom, the emergence, transformation, and impact of anti-slavery ideas, and the complex reality of slavery’s persistence in the Spanish Caribbean and Brazil until the late nineteenth century.
