This history of African slavery from the fifteenth to the early
twentieth centuries examines how indigenous African slavery
developed within an international context. Paul E. Lovejoy
discusses the medieval Islamic slave trade and the Atlantic trade
as well as the enslavement process and the marketing of slaves. He
considers the impact of European abolition and assesses slavery's
role in African history. The book corrects the accepted
interpretation that African slavery was mild and resulted in the
slaves' assimilation. Instead, slaves were used extensively in
production, although the exploitation methods and the relationships
to world markets differed from those in the Americas. Nevertheless,
slavery in Africa, like slavery in the Americas, developed from its
position on the periphery of capitalist Europe. This new edition
revises all statistical material on the slave trade demography and
incorporates recent research and an updated bibliography.
