Description

Explore the legal and commercial structures of the transatlantic slave trade with this academic volume from Brill. This book provides the first edited study focused specifically on the asiento, the contractual framework that regulated human trafficking to Spanish America from the late sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries. By examining the asiento as a political and commercial instrument of empire, this work examines how these contracts functioned within the Atlantic World. The research utilizes new archival findings from various languages and repositories across the Atlantic to trace the negotiated nature of these transimperial agreements. It offers a deep look into one of the foundational tragedies of the modern world through a historical lens.
