Acknowledgments
The chapters of this edited volume are based on selected papers presented in the multisession workshop “Slaving Paths: Rebuilding and Rethinking the Atlantic Worlds,” held during the 124th American Historical Association Meeting in January 2010 in San Diego, California. I am indebted to the colleagues who offered comments during the panel discussions and who provided criticism at different stages of the preparation of the workshop and the book manuscript. In particular, I thank Martin Klein, Joseph C. Miller, Rosanne M. Adderley, Elizabeth Kiddy, Luiz Felipe de Alencastro, Lorelle D. Semley, Jane G. Landers, and Walter Hawthorne, who actively participated in the workshop as chairs and commentators on the different panels. I am indebted to Jeffrey R. Kerr-Ritchie for his suggestions and for helping me edit one of the chapters as well as my introduction. I wish to thank Lisa Earl Castillo, who also edited one draft of the introduction and suggested Rugendas’s lithograph to illustrate the book’s cover. I also wish to thank the anonymous reader for the detailed and incisive report that forced me to take difficult decisions and helped greatly improve the quality of the manuscript. I am especially grateful to
