Atlantic slavery does not loom large in the traditional telling of
Welsh history. Yet Wales, like many regions of Europe, was deeply
affected by the forced migration of captive Africans. Welsh
commodities, like copper and brass made in Swansea, were used to
purchase slaves on the African coast and some Welsh products, such
as woollens from Montgomeryshire, were an important feature of
plantation life in the West Indies. In turn, the profits of
plantation agriculture flowed back into Wales, to be invested in
new industries or to be lavished on country mansions. This book
looks at Slave Wales between 1650 and 1850, bringing the most
up-to-date scholarship on Atlantic slavery to bear on the Welsh
experience.
