Reviews
"This book will for many years to come be the only comprehensive and integrated overview of U.S. involvement in the North American-based slave trade from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries."--David Eltis, coauthor of Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade

"This is one of the best syntheses of the history of the U.S. slave trade ever written. A book that offers not only a great historical narrative of a long-term process but also dives into specific themes in new ways."--Leonardo Marques, Universidade Federal Fluminense
