About this product
Product Information
This book explores Africa's involvement in the Atlantic world from the fifteenth century to the eighteenth century. It focuses especially on the causes and consequences of the slave trade, in Africa, in Europe, and in the New World. African institutions, political events, and economic structures shaped Africa's voluntary involvement in the Atlantic arena before 1680. Africa's economic and military strength gave African elites the capacity to determine how trade with Europe developed. Thornton examines the dynamics of colonization which made slaves so necessary to European colonizers, and he explains why African slaves were placed in roles of central significance. Estate structure and demography affected the capacity of slaves to form a self-sustaining society and behave as cultural actors, transferring and transforming African culture in the New World.

This is a really wonderful piece of Las Vegas history ! From a time when all things were positive and a shared delight was roundly enjoyed ! Sadly…never to return again. BUT..when slowly reading through things from that era..you can sort of channel the spirit of that magical time. Alan, thanks so much for making these pieces available… they are a joy to be sure 👍
