A extraordinary work, decades in the making: the first atlas to illustrate the entire scope of the transatlantic slave trade Winner of the Association of American Publishers’ 2010 R. R. Hawkins Award and PROSE Award “A monumental chronicle of this historical tragedy.”—Dwight Garner, New York Times Between 1501 and 1867, the transatlantic slave trade claimed an estimated 12.5 million Africans and involved almost every country with an Atlantic coastline. In this extraordinary book, two leading historians have created the first comprehensive, up-to-date atlas on this 350-year history of kidnapping and coercion. It features nearly 200 maps, especially created for the volume, that explore every detail of the African slave traffic to the New World. The atlas is based on an online database (www.slavevoyages.org) with records on nearly 35,000 slaving voyages—roughly 80 percent of all such voyages ever made. Using maps, David Eltis and David Richardson show which nations participated in the slave trade, where the ships involved were outfitted, where the captives boarded ship, and where they were landed in the Americas, as well as the experience of the transatlantic voyage and the geographic dimensions of the eventual abolition of the traffic. Accompanying the maps are illustrations and contemporary literary selections, including poems, letters, and diary entries, intended to enhance readers’ understanding of the human story underlying the trade from its inception to its end. This groundbreaking work provides the fullest possible picture of the extent and inhumanity of one of the largest forced migrations in history.
David W. Blight is professor of American history and director of the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale University.

無視された大西洋奴隷貿易の実態解明書
今まで、世界の歴史の中で、産業革命がなぜイギリスで起きてきたかと言う議論がなされてきたが、その本当の理由が、ポルトガル、スペイン、イギリス、オランダ、フランス、デンマークの歴史の影に隠れた奴隷貿易で得た資金が潤沢に投資にまわって産業革命が起きたと、私は理解することができた。腑に落ちたと言っても良い。 過去の大家の歴史書は、ゴミのような著作だと感じた。

Outstanding book
Based on extensive research and an exemplary cartographic presentation, the best book to date on the atlantic slave trade. Very impressive accomplishment. Not since the Oxford Economic Atlas of the early 1970s have flow maps been so competently presented.

Damaged!
Excellent book, but it’s damaged. The edges are smashed up and their was tape on the edge of the front cover, which has left a very sticky residue which makes holding and reading the book unpleasant. If I had known the book was in this poor condition I wouldn’t have purchased it. Very disappointed in the condition, though the book itself is very well done
