Description

Most historical research regarding the slave trade relies heavily on European sources. This volume from Cambridge University Press changes that perspective by bringing African voices to the forefront of the conversation. By looking beyond traditional European records, this book provides a much-needed view of the lived experiences of enslaved men and women. This collection features work from leading Africanist scholars who have analyzed a wide range of documentation. The research moves past standard colonial documents to include less-explored information such as oral traditions, folklore, songs, and proverbs. It also examines life histories gathered by missionaries and colonial officials to create a more complete historical picture. Whether you are a student of Atlantic world history or a researcher interested in African perspectives, this volume offers essential primary and secondary source material. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the human side of the slave trade through the eyes of those who lived it.
