Condition: New.

Paperback. Condition: New. This collection of fifteen insightful essays examines the complexity and diversity of Quaker antislavery attitudes across three centuries, from 1658 to 1890. Contributors from a range of disciplines, nations, and faith backgrounds show Quaker's beliefs to be far from monolithic. They often disagreed with one another and the larger antislavery movement about the morality of slaveholding and the best approach to abolition. Not surprisingly, contributors explain, this complicated and evolving antislavery sensibility left behind an equally complicated legacy. While Quaker antislavery was a powerful contemporary influence in both the United States and Europe, present-day scholars pay little substantive attention to the subject. This volume faithfully seeks to correct that oversight, offering accessible yet provocative new insights on a key chapter of religious, political, and cultural history. Contributors include Dee E. Andrews, Kristen Block, Brycchan Carey, Christopher Densmore, Andrew Diemer, J. William Frost, Thomas D. Hamm, Nancy A. Hewitt, Maurice Jackson, Anna Vaughan Kett, Emma Jones Lapsansky-Werner, Gary B. Nash, Geoffrey Plank, Ellen M. Ross, Marie-Jeanne Rossignol, James Emmett Ryan, and James Walvin.…

Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. An Unsettled Conquest: The British Campaign Against the Peoples of Acadia. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. The former French colony of Acadia-permanently renamed Nova Scotia by the British when they began an ambitious occupation of the territory in 1710-witnessed one of the bitterest struggles in the British empire. Whereas in its other North American colonies Britain assumed it could garner the sympathies of fellow Europeans against the native peoples, in Nova Scotia nothing was further from the truth. The Mi'kmaq, the native local population, and the Acadians, descendants of the original French settlers, had coexisted for more than a hundred years prior to the British conquest, and their friendships, family ties, common Catholic religion, and commercial relationships proved resistant to British-enforced change. Unable to seize satisfactory political control over the region, despite numerous efforts at separating the Acadians and Mi'kmaq, the authorities took drastic steps in the 1750s, forcibly deporting the Acadians to other British colonies and systematically decimating the remaining native population. The story of the removal of the Acadians, some of whose descendants are the Cajuns of Louisiana, and the subsequent oppression of the Mi'kmaq has never been completely told. In this first comprehensive history of the events leading up to the ultimate break-up of Nova Scotian society, Geoffrey Plank skillfully unravels the complex relationships of all of the groups involved, establishing the strong bonds between the Mi'kmaq and Acadians as well as the frustration of the British administrators that led to the Acadian removal, culminating in one of the most infamous events in North American history.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A sweeping history of the tiny but politically significant territory of Gibraltar from antiquity to the presentSince classical times, sailors, poets, and geographers have seen Gibraltar as a natural monument separating the Mediterranean from the Atlantic and Europe from Africa. Ancient Greeks and Romans recounted how the hero Hercules, sent on a mission to the end of the Earth, discovered an isthmus linking Africa and Europe.He destroyed it, leaving Gibraltar and an adjacent peak in Africa as the only remaining fragments of the demolished land bridge. By 1492, the strait between the continents was associated with the separation of faiths,serving as a boundary line between Christendom and Islam. After Spain's expulsions of Muslims and Jews, Gibraltar became, in the eyes of the Spanish, a fortress city on the frontier of European Christendom. The Anglo-Dutch seizure of Gibraltar in 1704 created a new border cutting the small peninsula off from Spain. Today, Gibraltar is the only territory in Europe included on the United Nations list of non-self-governing territories, and Britain and Spain continue to make claims to its fewsquare miles.The Last Place in Europe examines Gibraltar's history from antiquity to the present, focusing on how the peninsula's dramatic geographical position has shapedmythologies, religious animosities, scientific theories, migration patterns, trade, international politics, and labor relations. Gibraltar has always belonged as much to the Atlantic world as to the Mediterranean. Geoffrey Plank traces Gibraltar's commercial ties to Portuguese, Spanish, and British colonies in Africa and the Americas. After Britain seized Gibraltar early in the eighteenth century, the town and garrison became a meeting place for merchants, missionaries, refugees, sailors,scientists, and soldiers from across the British Empire. Plank recounts notable military events during the American Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and World War II. Legacies of past conflict haveinflected Gibraltar's history through the two world wars, the collapse of the British Empire, the Spanish blockade from 1969 to 1982, Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, and Gibraltar's development as a center of off-shore international finance.With its dramatic history at land and sea, The Last Place in Europe sets a new standard for work on this area of outsized significance as a crossroads of Europe, Africa, and the Atlantic world.
