Böcker av James A. Rawley

James A. Rawley fills a scholarly gap in the historical discussion of the slave trade from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century by providing one volume covering the economics, demography, epidemiology, and politics of the trade. This revised edition of Rawley's classic includes emended text to reflect the major changes in historiography.

Bringing together material from James A. Rawley's three decades of work, this volume depicts the slave trade from 1700 to the American Civil War. It considers the role of London in the trade, and focuses on a number of important figures in the slave industry, including Humphry Morice.
