Abstract: "From the late 1880s to the onset of World War II, organizations in Europe forged an informal international network to fight the continued existence of slavery and slave trading in Africa. Humanitarian Imperialism explores the scope and outreach of these antislavery groups, as well as their development alongside Fascist imperialism."--Goodreads.com.
