The transatlantic slave trade played a major role in the
development of the modern world. It both gave birth to and resulted
from the shift from feudalism into the European Commercial
Revolution. James A. Rawley fills a scholarly gap in the historical
discussion of the slave trade from the fifteenth to the nineteenth
century by providing one volume covering the economics, demography,
epidemiology, and politics of the trade. This revised edition of
Rawley's classic, produced with the assistance of Stephen D.
Behrendt, includes emended text to reflect the major changes in
historiography; current slave trade data tables and accompanying
text; updated notes; and the addition of a select bibliography.
James A. Rawley (1916-2005) was Carl Adolph Happold Professor of
History, emeritus, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is the
author of several books, including Turning Points of the Civil War
and Abraham Lincoln and a Nation Worth Fighting For, both available
in Bison Books editions. Stephen D. Behrendt is a senior lecturer
at Victoria University of Wellington. He has coauthored a data
archive of 27,233 slave voyages, The Transatlantic Slave Trade: A
Database on CD-ROM.
