An expansive, thought-provoking work worthy of reading by those seeking to better understand the global intersections of slavery, race, and capitalism.--North Carolina Historical Review Zach Sell writes a powerful history of global capitalism as racialized domination...revitalizes a Black intellectual thesis of racial capitalism, beyond doubt.--Business History Review [This] majestic work applies a close reading of the collected works of W. E. B. Du Bois to archival material from England, India, Australia, Belize, and the United States to articulate the global scope of seemingly national issues. . . . As Sell painstakingly demonstrates, the so-called Pax Britannica produced not peace but a world defined by imperial violence and destruction in service of metropolitan capitalist profit and plunder. --Journal of Southern History With obvious import for our understanding of the historical bases of present crises in the U.S. and around the world today, Trouble of the World offers tremendous insight, detail and argument to the reader. The research is meticulous and the detailed findings from small case studies are all purposefully woven into an argument about how the demands of emergent global capitalism in the mid-nineteenth century were generative in reworking racial domination and colonial occupation.--Ethnic and Racial Studies
