Description

Explore the historical realities of the Atlantic slave trade through this profound collection of translated Portuguese manuscripts. Covering the period from 1513 to 1526, this work provides a direct look at the movement of people from West Africa to Iberian territories. The text examines specific historical records, including the trading log of the ship Santiago, which departed Lisbon in January 1526. By comparing these rare logs with documents such as the receipt books from customs offices, the book offers a detailed view of how human beings were commodified during this era. It tracks the exchange of goods like brass and tin bracelets, bells, and cloth for enslaved Africans, documenting the prices paid and the survival rates during the crossing. This scholarly resource serves as a vital record for those studying economic history, the Atlantic slave trade, and the early maritime history of Portugal and Africa. It provides a window into the chillingly detached administrative methods used to record human lives as cargo, offering essential primary source material for researchers and historians.
