More about the book
The book presents a groundbreaking comparative analysis of major European slave traders, relying solely on archival sources. It challenges prevailing views by downplaying the impact of overcrowded slave ships on mortality rates and highlights the significant African influences on the slave trade, countering the typical focus on European factors. Additionally, the author argues that all nations engaged in slave trading exhibited fundamental similarities in their practices, suggesting a shared moral equivalence among them.
