Debates over the economic, social, and political meaning of slavery
and the slave trade have persisted for over two hundred years. The
Atlantic Slave Trade brings clarity and critical insight to the
subject. In fourteen essays, leading scholars consider the nature
and impact of the transatlantic slave trade and assess its meaning
for the people transported and for those who owned them. Among the
questions these essays address are: the social cost to Africa of
this forced migration; the role of slavery in the economic
development of Europe and the United States; the short-term and
long-term effects of the slave trade on black mortality, health,
and life in the New World; and the racial and cultural consequences
of the abolition of slavery. Some of these essays originally
appeared in recent issues of Social Science History; the editors
have added new material, along with an introduction placing each
essay in the context of current debates. Based on extensive
archival research and detailed historical examination, this
collection constitutes an important contribution to the study of an
issue of enduring significance. It is sure to become a standard
reference on the Atlantic slave trade for years to
come.Contributors. Ralph A. Austen, Ronald Bailey, William Darity,
