Resumen
SCOTT, Rebecca J. Public rights and private commerce: A nineteenth-century atlantic creóle itinerary. hist.crit. [online]. 2013, n.49, pp.205-235. ISSN 0121-1617.
Tracing the history of a family across three generations, from enslavement in eighteenth-century West Africa through emancipation during the Haitian Revolution and subsequent resettlement in New Orleans, then France, then Belgium, can shed light on phenomena that are Atlantic in scope. Together, the experiences of the Vincent/ Tinchant family illuminate an Atlantic and Caribbean rights-consciousness that crossed the usual boundaries of language and citizenship. Uncovering these experiences suggests the value of combining the close focus displayed in Sidney Mintz's Worker in the Cane with the Atlantic approach of his later Sweetness and Power.
