"Bringing the histories of British anti-slavery and Australian colonization together
changes our view of both. This book explores the anti-slavery movement in imperial
scope, arguing that colonization in Australasia facilitated emancipation in the Caribbean,
even as abolition powerfully shaped the Settler Revolution. The anti-slavery campaign
was deeply entwined with the administration of the empire and its diverse peoples,
as well as the radical changes demanded by industrialization and rapid social change
in Britain. Abolition posed problems to which colonial expansion provided the answer,
intimately linking the end of slavery to systematic colonization and Indigenous dispossession.
By defining slavery in the Caribbean as the opposite of freedom, a lasting impact
of abolition was to relegate other forms of oppression to lesser status, or to deny
them. Through the shared concerns of abolitionists, slave-owners, and colonizers,
a plastic ideology of 'free labour' was embedded within post-emancipation imperialist
geopolitics, justifying the proliferation of new forms of unfree labour and defining
new racial categories. The celebration of abolition has overshadowed post-emancipation
continuities and transformations of slavery that continue to shape the modern world"
