The Atlantic Slave Trade
Klein, Herbert Sanford
This survey is a synthesis of the economic, social, cultural, and
political history of the Atlantic slave trade, providing the general
reader with a basic understanding of the current state of scholarly
knowledge of forced African migration and compares this knowledge to
popular beliefs. The Atlantic Slave Trade examines the four hundred
years of Atlantic slave trade, covering the West and East African
experiences, as well as all 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. It discusses the
slave trade’s economics, politics, demographic impact, and cultural
implications in relationship to Africa as well as America. Finally, it
places the slave trade in the context of world trade and examines the
role it played in the growing relationship between Asia, Africa, Europe,
and America. This new edition incorporates the latest findings of the
last decade in slave trade studies carried out in Europe and America. It
also includes new data on the slave trade voyages which have just
recently been made available to the public.
