十七至十八世纪英属大西洋世界的奴隶制度与废奴运动

Slavery and Abolition Movement of British Atlantic World in 17^(th)-18^(th) Century

17-18世纪英属大西洋世界的奴隶制表现出很强的跨地区特征。它是英国强迫无业游民劳动的高压政策和对强制劳工的鄙视、西非将奴隶视为财富的习俗、以及白人对黑人的种族主义歧视三者相互结合的产物。无论是黑人的反抗运动还是白人的废奴运动,都无法废除奴隶制,只有通过跨种族的合作,进行世界范围的努力才有可能实现废奴目标。对于这样从诞生、发展到灭亡都表现出强烈跨国、跨地区和跨种族色彩的制度,也许通过地区史的视角才能对它有更加全面的了解。

Slavery in British Atlantic World in 17^（th）-18^（th） century had strong trans-regional characteristic.It was the product of three factors＇ interaction,that is,British coercion policy to force the loafer to work and its disdain to coercion labor, western African custom seeing slaves as wealth, and white man＇s racial discrimination to black man. Black man＇s resistance and white man＇s anti-slavery movement cannot achieve their goals,only the cooperation of trans-race and world-wide movement can abolish the slavery. To this kind of system that appeared strong trans-national,trans-regional and trans-racial characteristic in its origin,development and extinction,perhaps only through the angle of regional history can we understand it more comprehensively.
