The Atlantic Slave Trade: Effects on Economies, Societies and Peoples in Africa, the Americas, and Europe Paperback - 1992

by Joseph E. Inikori (Editor)

From the publisher

Debates over the economic, social, and political meaning of slavery and the slave trade have persisted for over two hundred years. The Atlantic Slave Trade brings clarity and critical insight to the subject. In fourteen essays, leading scholars consider the nature and impact of the transatlantic slave trade and assess its meaning for the people transported and for those who owned them.
Among the questions these essays address are: the social cost to Africa of this forced migration; the role of slavery in the economic development of Europe and the United States; the short-term and long-term effects of the slave trade on black mortality, health, and life in the New World; and the racial and cultural consequences of the abolition of slavery. Some of these essays originally appeared in recent issues of Social Science History; the editors have added new material, along with an introduction placing each essay in the context of current debates.
Based on extensive archival research and detailed historical examination, this collection constitutes an important contribution to the study of an issue of enduring significance. It is sure to become a standard reference on the Atlantic slave trade for years to come.

First line

SINCE THE DEBATE in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries between the proslavery interests in Europe and the Americas-the slave traders and slaveholders-and the abolitionist movements, conflicting arguments have been presented on a host of issues relating to slavery and the slave trade.

From the rear cover

"[This volume] will become an important milestone in the investigation of the issue of the extent to which western modern economic growth found its impetus in slavery."--Jay R. Mandle, Colgate University
