Product Description

BBC History Magazine

A thought-provoking and invaluable contribution to the slavery debate… holds the reader’s attention to the last page.


Book Description

The British Empire carried more Africans into bondage across the Americas than any other nation. Not only did the British slavers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries do most to hone the art of the ‘Africa Trade’, the country also benefited financially more than any of its competitors. James Walvin re-tells the story of how the international commodity market in slaves operated, how transportation over thousands of miles by sailing ship was possible, the trading rules, the experience of slaves both in bondage and as freedmen and presents a new account of the critical relationship between slavery and how it changed the course of Britain’s cultural life.
