Charts the inception of slavery in Africa and its rise as perpetuated on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, with particular focus on the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. Access guaranteed until March 30, 2022
This collection features a wide range of materials, from monographs and individual papers to company records, newspapers, and a variety of government documents. An international editorial board with scholars specializing in North American, European, African, and Latin American/Caribbean aspects of the slave trade help make Part II more international in scope than Part I.
Part II covers a wide spectrum of subjects related to the history of slavery: legal issues; economics; the Caribbean; children and women under slavery; modes of resistance; and much more, from 1490 to 1896. This collection is particularly relevant in its significant coverage of France, Haiti, Jamaica, Denmark, Portugal, Brazil, Senegal, and many other countries and regions.
Content in Part II is especially valuable for:
- European travelers and missionaries accounts: they often are the only records available to document the evidence of slavery in Africa;
- European business records: These records are particularly valuable for piecing together the many wars and commercial disputes among the African powers on the Gold Coast (modern day Ghana), Sierra Leone, the Gambia area and the region around the old kingdom of Dahomey (modern day Bènin);
- Further evidence beyond the United States and the United Kingdom of the international debates around the abolition of the slave trade.
