Compare The Rise Of African Slavery In The Americas by David Eltis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Exploring the paradox of the concurrent development of slavery and freedom in the European domains, The Rise of African Slavery in the Americas provides a fresh interpretation of the development of the English Atlantic slave system. The book outlines a major African role in the evolution of the Atlantic societies before the nineteenth century and argues that the transatlantic slave trade was a result of African strength rather than African weakness. It also addresses changing patterns of group identity to account for the racial basis of slavery in the early modern Atlantic World. | The Rise Of African Slavery In The Americas by David Eltis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
