About this book
Reviews
“Giulia Bonazza’s book on abolitionism in pre-unification Italy is, from many points of view, an innovative Study. … Bonazza’s study continues, from the point of view of the chronological period analyzed … . Her book offers … a broader and more general reflection on that “grey area” between the Napoleonic campaign in Italy and national unification … .” (Valeria Deplano, H-Net Reviews, h-net.org, March, 2023)
“This work constitutes a major contribution to global slavery studies, primarily because it sheds light on an understudied topic in the English language historiography: slavery and abolitionism in pre-unification Italy. The book is empirically ground-breaking, and reveals themes that have not attracted sufficient attention in a field dominated by excessive focus on the Atlantic world. … For all these reasons, Bonazza is to be highly commended.” (Journal of Global Slavery, Vol. 5 (3), October, 2020)
