This book highlights newly-discovered and underutilized sources for
the study of slavery and abolition. It features the contributions
of scholars who work with Portuguese, Spanish, German, Dutch, and
Swedish materials from Europe, Africa and Latin America. Their work
draws on legal suits, merchant correspondence, Catholic sacramental
records, and rare newspapers dating from the seventeenth through
the nineteenth centuries. Essays cover the volume of the early
South Atlantic slave trade; African and African-descended religious
and cultural communities in Rio de Janeiro and the Spanish
circum-Caribbean; Eurafrican trade alliances on the Gold Coast; and
public participation in abolition in nineteenth-century Brazil.
These essays change and enrich our understandings of slavery and
its end in the Atlantic World. This book was originally published
as a special issue of Slavery and Abolition.
