The crops produced by those slaves helped to lay the foundations for Western material well-being, and their associated cultural habits helped to shape key areas of Western sociability that survive to this day. Britain was also central in the drive to end slavery, in her own possessions and elsewhere in the world. Making the Black Atlantic presents a coherent story of Britain's role in the African diaspora, its origins, progress, and transformation."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Bloomsbury academic collections.History of the transatlantic slave trade.Slave tradeAfrica, WestSlave tradeGreat BritainSlave tradeNorth Atlantic RegionGeneral & world historySlave tradeSlave tradeSlave trade382/.44Walvin James218359UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910814301103321Making the Black Atlantic4059458UNINA
