The British Empire carried more Africans into bondage in the
Americas than any other nation in the world. Not only did the
British slavers of the 17th and 18th centuries do the most to hone
the art of slave trading, but the nation as a whole also benefited
financially more than any of its competitors. The story of how
Britain grew and prospered on the backs of millions of slaves is
retold here in vivid detail. Renowned slavery historian James
Walvin explains how the international commodity market operated,
how the process of transporting millions of Africans thousands of
miles across ocean and land developed, and how the experience
affected slaves both in bondage and later in freedom. This is an
innovative and eye-opening account of the critical relationship
between slavery and the development of Britain's cultural and
economic life.
