Winner of the 2015 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award Studies
of the South Atlantic commercial world typically focus on
connections between Angola and Brazil, and specifically on the
flows of enslaved Africans from Luanda and the relations between
Portuguese-Brazilian traders and other agents and their local
African and mulatto trading partners. While reaffirming the
centrality of slaving activities and of the networks that
underpinned them, this collection of new essays shows that there
were major Portuguese-Brazilian slave-trading activities in the
South Atlantic outside Luanda as well as the Angolan-Brazil axes
upon which historians usually focus. In drawing attention to these
aspects of the South Atlantic commercial world, we are reminded
that this was a world of change and also one in which
Portuguese-Brazilian traders were unable to sustain in the face of
competition from northern European rivals the dominant position in
slave trading in Atlantic Africa that they had first established in
the sixteenth century.
