Summary Through a literary analysis of works from key historical moments across two hundred years, 'Monsters by Trade' traces shifting anxieties over the transformation of Spain into a slave-trader nation, formed financially and ideologically by its morally corrupt slave economy in Cuba and condemned by all other Atlantic powers. The book thus expands our present consideration of modern empire.
