SynopsisIn The Atlantic World of Anthony Benezet (1713-1784): From French Reformation to North American Quaker Antislavery Activism , Marie-Jeanne Rossignol and Bertrand Van Ruymbeke offer the first scholarly study fully examining Anthony Benezet, inspirator of 18th-century antislavery activism, as an Atlantic figure. Contributions cover his Huguenot heritage and later influence on the French antislavery movement (which had never been explored as thoroughly before) as well as his Quaker faith and connections with the Quaker community in the British Atlantic world (in the North American colonies as well as in Britain). Beyond the Quaker community, his preoccupation with Africa is highlighted, and further research is also encouraged reconciling Benezet studies with those on black rebels and founders in the Atlantic world., In The Atlantic World of Anthony Benezet (1713-1784): From French Reformation to North American Quaker Antislavery Activism , Marie-Jeanne Rossignol and Bertrand Van Ruymbeke offer the first scholarly volume examining Anthony Benezet, inspirator of 18th-century antislavery activism, as an Atlantic figure.
