The process of terminating the European Transatlantic Trade in
Africans (TTA) was long and drawn-out. Although Africans, including
the enslaved had long resisted its operation, abolition has
traditionally been presented as a benevolent act by the British
state acting under pressure from the intellectual classes and
humanitarian activists. But the campaign to end the TTA cannot be
separated from the resistance struggle of the Africans
themselves.In Saving Souls: The Struggle to end the Transatlantic
Trade in Africans, the companion volume to Trading Souls, noted
Caribbean historians Hilary Beckles and Verene Shepherd trace the
African experience from capture, the horrors of the Middle Passage
to liberation. Their story emphasises the contributions of the
victims of the enslaved even while acknowledging the critical role
of the British abolitionists. Readers will learn about: The
structure and conduct of the trade in African people, Details of
the resistance of Africans to capture, sale and transportation, The
abolition movement - involving black and white, enslaved and free,
male and female, Christian and non-Christian activists, Legacies of
the 1807 Act, The final Abolition Acts, namely the 1805-1806
Order-in-Council and the 1807 Act are included as appendices for
easy reference.
