Description
Exploring the anomaly of the concurrent development of slavery and freedom within the European domain names, The Upward thrust of African Slavery within the Americas provides a fresh interpretation of the improvement of the English Atlantic slave system. The book outlines a huge African role within the evolution of the Atlantic societies before the nineteenth century and argues that the transatlantic slave trade used to be as a result of the African strength fairly than African weakness. It also addresses changing patterns of group identity to account for the racial basis of slavery within the early up to date Atlantic World.
