Abstract

First paragraph:
Slavery was under attack in the Americas during the nineteenth century just as it reached the plantation as a form of agricultural production. In this stunning book, Reconstructing the Landscapes of Slavery: A Visual History of the Plantation in the Nineteenth-Century Atlantic World, researchers from Brazil, the United States, and Cuba on “second slavery” have turned a well-funded international project into a short but brilliantly illustrated survey of how plantations worked to produce, through enslaved labor, coffee, sugar, and cotton for an expanding global market.
