Reviews
...very readable collection of articles from leading experts in the field of slavery studies. Walvin's account of the move towards abolition makes particularly pertinent reading as we approach the 2007 bicentenary of the ending of the slave trade in Britain, but perhaps most relevant are the essays on how, and why, we should commemorate this difficult aspect of our history.
David Musgrove, BBC History magazine
The essays consistently challenge the lay reader to reconsider received wisdom about slavery and its consequences, and cause the specialist to rethink approaches to primary sources, the categories we use, and the meaning of our research... a good introduction to the questions and themes that drive scholarship about the waxing and waning of the international enslavement of Africans.
