Description
The Atlantic Slave Trade provides a comprehensive survey of the economic, social, cultural, and political history of the Atlantic slave trade. This new edition synthesises the latest findings in the field, incorporating recent data on slave trade voyages made available to the public. The book examines the four hundred years of Atlantic slave trade, covering the experiences of West and East Africa, as well as the American colonies and republics that obtained slaves from Africa. It outlines both the common features of this trade and the local differences that developed, discussing its economics, politics, demographic impact, and cultural implications in relationship to both Africa and America. By placing the slave trade within the context of world trade, the book sheds new light on the role it played in the growing relationship between Asia, Africa, Europe, and America.
