After a generation of enormous scholarly fecundity, interest in the history of the Atlantic slave system shows no signs of subsiding. It now constitutes one of the liveliest fields of comparative and interdisciplinary history. A recent flurry of centennial activities marking the history of abolition will probably continue unabated into bicentennial commemorations in 1991 of the St Domingue slave uprising and the quincentenary in 1992 of Columbus’s voyage.1 This luxuriant centennialization is grounded in a distinctive set of historical benchmarks. Little more than two centuries ago, personal bondage was the prevailing form of labor in most of the world. Personal freedom, not slavery, was the peculiar institution. In 1772, Arthur Young estimated that only 33 million of the world’s 775 million inhabitants could be called free. Adam Smith offered a similarly somber ratio to his students and prophesied that slavery was unlikely to disappear for ages, if ever.2
