The transatlantic slave trade

by James A. Rawley

"James A. Rawley fills a scholarly gap in the historical discussion of the slave trade from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century by providing one volume covering the economics, demography, epidemiology, and politics of the trade." "This revised edition of Rawley's classic, produced with the assistance of Stephen D. Behrendt, includes emended text to reflect the major changes in historiography, current slave trade data tables and accompanying text; updated notes; and the addition of a select bibliography."--Jacket.
