Since 1999, intensive research efforts have vastly increased what
is known about the history of coerced migration of transatlantic
slaves. A huge database of slave trade voyages from Columbus's era
to the mid-nineteenth century is now available on an open-access
Web site, incorporating newly discovered information from archives
around the Atlantic world. The groundbreaking essays in this book
draw on these new data to explore fundamental questions about the
trade in African slaves. The research findings--that the size of
the slave trade was 14 percent greater than had been estimated,
that trade above and below the equator was largely separate, that
ports sending out the most slave voyages were not in Europe but in
Brazil, and more--challenge accepted understandings of
transatlantic slavery and suggest a variety of new directions for
important further research. For the most complete database on slave
trade voyages ever compiled, visit www.slavevoyages.org.
