Reviews
'Liverpool and the Slave Trade is altogether an impressive work that will be useful to a broad range of readers. Even leaving aside its many fine qualities, the excellent images alone make it a valuable addition to a specialist's library. Readers generally acquainted with the transatlantic slave trade will also value the Liverpool-specific aspects of every chapter, and it will serve as an engaging introductory volume for undergraduates, general readers, and all Liverpudlians.'
Ryan E. Mewett, H-Net Reviews
'Brief, yet uncompromising, it is a valuable addition to our understanding of slavery, especially its role in bringing prosperity to a city through which relatively few slaves directly passed [...] For anyone who thinks of the slave trade as a distant event from British shores, this book shatters the illusion.'
Thomas Malcomson, The Northern Mariner
'The book is invaluable in understanding the key role Liverpool merchants played in the British slave trade and how involvement in that trade shaped the town economically, politically and socially during the period and beyond.'
Laurence Westgraph, Transactions: The Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire
