Moving forward in comparative slavery
Orlando Patterson's critique of the concept of "slave society" in his recent book Enslavement: Past and Present offers us an occasion to reflect upon the use of this term by scholars engaging in studies of comparative slavery in the ancient and modern worlds. It is possible to relate Patterson's critique of "slave society" to a discussion of the cognate concept of "slave system", taking inspirations from important recent studies by historians of …

Writing the History of Slavery
Exploring the major historiographical, theoretical, and methodological approaches that have shaped studies on slavery, this addition to the Writing History series highlights the varied ways that historians have approached the fluid and complex systems of human bondage, domination, and exploitation that have developed in societies across the world. The first part examines more recent attempts to place slavery in a global context, touching on conte…

Writing the US Civil War Era into Nineteenth-Century World History
Recent comparative and transnational studies of the nineteenth-century United States point toward the integration of the US Civil War era into a current global historical narrative that considers the nineteenth century a crucial period in world history. In doing so, these studies reinforce the idea that the processes of nation-building and empire-building were closely intertwined throughout the history of the nineteenth-century United States, wit…
L uca C odignola . Blurred Nationalities across the North Atlantic
In recent years, scholars engaging in the study of transnational historical contacts between North America and Italy between the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries have published a number of important studies, among which two of the most significant are Daniele Fiorentino’s Gli Stati Uniti e il risorgimento d’Italia, 1848–1901 (2013) and Axel Körner’s America in Italy: The United States in the Political Thought and Imagination of the Risorgi…
Civil War and Agrarian Unrest
Between 1861 and 1865, both the Confederate South and Southern Italy underwent dramatic processes of nation-building, with the creation of the Confederate States of America and the Kingdom of Italy, in the midst of civil wars. This is the first book that compares these parallel developments by focusing on the Unionist and pro-Bourbon political forces that opposed the two new nations in inner civil conflicts. Overlapping these conflicts were the s…

Small Nations and Colonial Peripheries in World War I
This edited volume examines the experience of World War I of small nations, defined here in terms of their relative weakness vis-à-vis the major actors in European diplomacy, and colonial peripheries, encompassing areas that were subject to colonial rule by European empires and thus located far from the heartland of these empires. The chapters address subject nations within Europe, such as Ireland and Poland; neutral states, such as Sweden and Sp…

American Slavery, Atlantic Slavery, and Beyond
American Slavery, Atlantic Slavery, and Beyond provides an up-to-date summary of past and present views of American slavery in international perspective and suggests new directions for current and future comparative scholarship. It argues that we can better understand the nature and meaning of American slavery and antislavery if we place them clearly within a Euro-American context. Current scholarship on American slavery acknowledges the importan…

Comparative Slavery
This article first briefly reviews the historiography of comparative slavery, so as to identify the main trends and changes it went through. It then provides a summary of the state of the art of comparative studies in the three main historical periods in which slavery flourished in the Americas: the colonial period (sixteenth to late eighteenth centuries), the revolutionary period (roughly 1770–1820), and the nineteenth century. At the heart of t…
We Cherished the Same Hostility to Every Form of Tyranny”
This essay focuses on making connections and comparisons between American abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison and Italian democratic nationalist Giuseppe Mazzini. It is well known that Garrison felt a particular affinity with Mazzini. They shared a common belief in the universality of human rights, and they both saw the abolition of slavery and national regeneration as crucial steps in humankind's march towards progress. My essay aims at highligh…
The End of the "Second Slavery" in the Confederate South and the Great Brigandage in Southern Italy
Between 1861 and 1865, the newly formed Confederate nation and the Kingdom of Italy faced comparable crises of legitimacy, as the South of the former United States and southern Italy underwent the horrific ordeals of the American Civil War and of Italy's "Great Brigandage", also in itself a civil war. Even though on different scales and in different ways, the two civil wars affected relationships between the agrarian elites and their slave and pe…
Ideal models of slave management in the Roman world and in the ante-bellum American South
INTRODUCTION In recent years, scholarly debate has focused increasingly on the usefulness of comparative history and on the appropriate methods to practise it. Key works written by comparative historians have shown the possibility and advantage of using the comparative approach as a means to shed light on a variety of different issues. For the most part, such works deal with a particular case-study placing it in a broader context of historical co…
The study of ancient and modern slave systems
Historical studies of slavery are, by definition, both global and comparative. Slavery, in fact, is an institution whose practice has covered most of the documented history of the world and has spread across many different countries and regions around the globe. Thus, very few societies have remained historically untouched by it, while, at different times and in different degrees, most have seen a more or less strong presence of slaves employed f…
Society, Economy, and Politics in Restoration Italy
Recent scholarship on the Restoration period in Italy (1815–60) has put the accent on regional diversity and on particular developments within the different pre-unification states. In particular, recent studies on the Kingdom of Sardinia have added much to our view of the Piedmontese nobility's peculiar character and ability to maintain its identity through time. Equally, detailed studies of the economy of nineteenth-century Tuscany have emphasiz…
States of Rebellion
To date, only a handful of scholars, most notably C.L.R. James and Eugene Genovese, have seen slave rebellions and peasant revolts as having anything in common. Fewer scholars still would be prepared to accept the assumption that slaves and peasants were agrarian working classes that shared significant characteristics. Yet, the issues of rural unrest and class formation continue to haunt the historiography of both slave and peasant societies long…

Patriarchs and republicans
This article argues that the metaphor of George Washington as Father of his Country- or Pater Patriae- must be seen in the context of the culture of the eighteenth-century Virginian planter élite. Classical education and English commonwealthmen's writings had given most planters familiarity with Roman republican figures such as Cicero, who first bore the title of Pater Patriae, and had prompted them to consider independence and disinterestedness …

Nations, Markets, and War
In this provocative interdisciplinary study, Nicholas and Peter Onuf argue that the American Civil War was the first great war between modern nations, emerging from the wreckage of a federal union that was supposed to secure perpetual peace. Situating conceptions of nationhood and war in the broader context of modern history, the authors draw attention to overlooked aspects of liberal thought that stand in tension with the a historical individual…

Patriarcalismo e paternalismo no Sul dos Estados Unidos antebellum e no Mezzogiorno italiano oitocentista
Na primeira metade do século XIX, as visões de mundo dos senhores de escravos norte-americanos e dos proprietários rurais do sul da Itália incluíam elementos comparáveis de duas ideologias distintas : o patriarcalismo, mais conservadora, baseada na deferência e obediência, e o paternalismo, mais progressista, baseada na reciprocidade e em relações contratuais. Ambas as ideologias justificavam a exploração implacável dos trabalhadores agrícolas, n…
