Offers a rare primary document from an important moment in history: the Spanish War of Independence, which culminated in the expulsion of France from the Iberian Peninsula in 1814. Fernando Blanco White's diary offers personal insights into how people in Europe and across its global empires coped with profound transformations.

Beginning with the roots of African slavery in the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Iberian empires, this work explores central issues, including the transatlantic slave trade, labour, Afro-Latin American cultures, racial identities in colonial slave societies, and the spread of antislavery ideas and social movements.
