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. 410 0$aLewis Walpole series in eighteenth-century culture and history. 606 $aSlave trade$zAfrica$xHistory$vMaps 615 0$aSlave trade$xHistory 676 $a381/.44091821022 700 $aEltis$b David$f1940-$0133519 702 $aRichardson$b David$f1946- 702 $aDavis$b David Brion 702 $aBlight$b David W. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797745203321 996 $aAtlas of the transatlantic slave trade$93858050 997 $aUNINA
