Abstract
Beyond the black Atlantic of Paul Gilroy, the slavery Atlantic, a comprehensive concept whose borders go to the heart of the continents, although constantly reworked by linguistic subdivisions (the Lusophone, French-speaking, English-speaking...) or hemispherical (South Atlantic, North). This book, however, challenges these borders: it appears as a cross-history between the South Atlantic and the North Atlantic, between a Portuguese-speaking space and a French-speaking area; between dates of abolition of slavery separated in time. It seeks to define links, convergence effects and differences between these worlds. The book brings together 12 historians to think about the links between slavery, post-slavery, citizenship and subjectivity between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries in the Atlantic Escravidão.
