Crossings: Africa, the Americas and the Atlantic Slave Trade, by James Walvin
Condition: VeryGood.
"Crossings: Africa, the Americas and the Atlantic Slave Trade" by James Walvin, published by Reaktion Books in 2013, provides an in-depth analysis of the transatlantic slave trade, estimating over 12 million Africans were transported to the Americas from the mid-15th to the 19th century. The book highlights Brazil's pivotal role in the development of enslaving techniques, which influenced practices throughout the Americas. It chronicles abolition efforts that, despite bans in Britain and the U.S., saw over 3 million Africans still transported post-1807, with slavery persisting until 1888 in Brazil. Organized into thematic chapters, the work delves into origins, ship conditions, resistance, and the lasting impacts of slavery today."
