{"product_id":"moral-imperium","title":"Moral Imperium","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the past decade, the problem of British slave emancipation has generated considerable historiographical debate. Yet, until now, this debate has emphasized the relative importance of ideals and material self-interest in the British emancipation movement. In \u003ci\u003eMoral Imperium\u003c\/i\u003e, Ronald Richardson offers a new assessment of the relative importance of ideas, religious enthusiasm, national interest, and political circumstances. Arguing that historians have yet to develop an understanding of the impact of the Afro-Caribbean population on the development of British anti-slavery thought in general and the anti-slavery movement as a whole, he contends that abolition and emancipation were carried out in the context of British rule and were designed to create a social environment that would be receptive to British needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54219110711640,"sku":"9780313247248","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/moral-imperium","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
