Description

First published in 2006 The Atlantic Slave Trade (4 volume set) tells the history of the Atlantic slave trade from its origins through to the nineteenth century.

Outlined in essays taken from key journals in the field from 1940 onwards, it is also the history of Atlantic power systems and economies.

Each of the collections is introduced by an essay from the general editor, which comments on the contribution the essays make.

The Atlantic slave trade was established as a response to economic need and was a product of the search for economic opportunity.

As such, it was a system of servitude driven essentially by free enterprise.

The key context was European trans-oceanic expansion focused on the Atlantic world where labour was needed and labour was available but not at the same place. This set is a re-issue originally published in 2006 and contains articles from 1940 onwards.

The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
