It argues that while, undoubtedly, the shadow of antebellum chattel slavery loomed large in the American imagination, as influential was the model of imperial antislavery practised by European powers, especially after the United States itself developed an overseas empire in the 1890s. However, representations of slavery were not only a battleground on a geopolitical level. They were also used to work out the significance of competing scientific racial ideas, and also became a way for more radical thinkers to express their distaste for such ideas, while proposing new and more broad approaches to labour problems. Abolitionists were far from simplistic humanitarians and often their approach to the problem of slavery was a pragmatic one, designed as much to maintain control and hegemonic order as to give equal rights and opportunities to the world's poorest. This was especially the case when imagining the sexual enslavement of women, as gender and race intersected to provide a potent rhetoric intended to reinforce patriarchal dominance. This period, and especially the early twentieth century, does provide a significant evolution in the ways that slaves and slavery were described, and the United States' participation in international efforts to stop the phenomenon of slavery, and also increased endeavours to stamp out coercive labour practices within its own borders, reflected a foregrounding of more radical voices of resistance to the imperial standard."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Forced labor $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Forced labor $x Moral and ethical aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Slavery $x Moral and ethical aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination against women. 650 0 $a Imperialism $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Armstrong, Catherine, 1986- $t American slavery, American imperialism. $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108663908 $w (DLC) 2019044716 830 0 $a Slaveries since emancipation 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210105040713.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D1F366DA047611EB89AE83802EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
