【 摘 要 】

Modernity’s global applicability is most clearly marked by the Transatlantic Slave Trade in which millions of Africans were forcefully deported to the “New World.” Reading the economics of the trade and its diasporic implications yields a realization of the importance of sugar as a commodity and the plantation as means of production. Commencing with a memoiristic prelude centered in Coimbra, Portugal, the argument expands to an explanation of slavery in the mainland colonies of North America and its implications for race in the United States today.
