Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade (The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-C) [Hardcover]

Editorial Reviews Review "The Atlas is the Rosetta Stone of slave historiography, making legible through maps and charts the mass of data that, at long last, allows us to grapple with and interpret the strange and intricate history of the slave trade in African human beings to the New World between 1501 and 1866. If there were Pulitzer Prizes for databases, this would win, hands down."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard University (Henry Louis Gates, Jr. ) "A brilliant rendition of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database. This atlas is essential to the study of chattel slavery. No student of slavery should be without it."—Ira Berlin, University of Maryland (Ira Berlin ) "These magnificent maps—all 189—document almost every conceivable aspect of one of the world''s worst crimes. An epic and gruesome drama receives a fitting representation. A superb contribution to scholarship."—Philip D. Morgan, Johns Hopkins University (Philip D. Morgan )
