Yet, as this book shows, the slave trade and abolition resound in international criminal law in multiple ways. Its central focus lies in a close examination of the often-controversial litigation, in the first part of the nineteenth century, arising from British efforts to capture slave ships, much of it before Mixed Commissions. With archival-based research into this litigation, it explores the legal construction of so-called 'recaptives' (slaves found on board captured slave ships). The book argues that, notwithstanding its promise of freedom, the law actually constructed recaptives restrictively. In particular, it focused on questions of intervention rather than recaptives' rights. At the same time it shows how a critical reading of the archive reveals that recaptives contributed to litigation in important, but hitherto largely unrecognized, ways. The book is, however, not simply a contribution to the history of international law. Efforts to deliver justice through international criminal law continue to face considerable challenges and raise testing questions about the construction - and alternative construction - of victims. By inscribing the recaptive in international criminal legal history, the book offers an original contribution to these contentious issues and a reflection on critical international criminal legal history writing and its accompanying methodological and political choices"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Rethinking International Criminal Legal History -- Where It All Began : Prize -- The Piracy Analogy and the Slave Trade -- Mixed Commissions and the Expansion of Intervention -- After Seizure : The Hazards of Recaptivity -- Prize, Property and the Economies of Slave Trade Repression -- Back to the Present : Recaptives, Victims and Creditors -- Conclusion. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a International criminal law. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slave trade $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Antislavery movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810800 650 7 $a International criminal law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01784719 650 7 $a Slave trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120405 650 7 $a Slavery $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120465 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Haslam, Emily, $t The slave trade, abolition and the long history of international criminal law $d New York : Routledge, 2019. $z 9780429436482 $w (DLC) 2019031967 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013341.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E248682E1D7611EA83B92C1397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
