Transformations in Slavery : A History of Slavery in Africa (African Studies)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'The publication of the second edition of Paul Lovejoy's Transformation in Slavery is something of a benchmark for those who study African slavery ... Transformation in Slavery will remain a vital entry in the bibliography of any study of African slavery; historical or contemporary for some time.' The English Historical Review
Book Description
This history of African slavery from the fifteenth to the early twentieth century examines how indigenous African slavery developed within an international context. Professor Lovejoy discusses the medieval Islamic slave trade and the Atlantic trade as well as the enslavement process and the marketing of slaves. He considers the impact of European abolition and assesses slavery's role in African history. The book corrects the accepted interpretation that African slavery was mild and resulted in the slaves' assimilation. This new edition incorporates recent research, revised statistics on the slave trade demography, and an updated bibliography.
