Traditionally, Dutch research has focused on business practices, often overlooking the enslaved and the complexities of illegal trade and violence. By experimenting with innovative methodologies and underutilised primary sources, this volume reveals the potential to uncover perspectives of enslaved people aboard slave ships, to investigate unstudied areas like sexual violence, and to examine the roles of Dutch elite in the trade.Slavery and Emancipation SeriesHISTORY / Modern / 18th CenturybisacshSlavery, Slave trade, Dutch Republic, Eighteenth century, Slave ship.HISTORY / Modern / 18th Century.382.4409492Negrón Ramona1776736den Oudsten Jessica1776737de Koning Camilla1776738Fatah-Black Karwan1544498MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996639666503316The Dutch Transatlantic Slave Trade4295647UNISA
