Ireland, Slavery and Anti-Slavery: 1612-1865

Nini is the author of the book Ireland, Slavery and Anti-Slavery: 1612-1865, published in 2007 by Palgrave MacMillan.

The book tackles a hitherto neglected topic by presenting Ireland as very much a part of the Black Atlantic world. It shows how slaves and sugar produced economic and political change in eighteenth-century Ireland and discusses the role of Irish emigrants in slave societies in the Caribbean and North America.

 

The book is currently available as a hardback, paperback or e-book and can be purchased from the Palgrave website or from Amazon.
