* * * SUMMARY
The book by S. Abramova traces the history of the transatlantic slave-trade from its beginning in the mid-15th century until its end in the latter half of the 19th century.
The Introduction indicates three major periods of the trade. The first began in the middle of the 15th century, when the Portuguese landed on the West African shores, and lasted until the mid-17th century. In the 15th century and in the first decade of the 16th century the slaves were being shipped to Europe; after 1510, with the emergence of Spanish colonies in the West Indies the trade was redirected to the New World. By the mid-17th century capitalism's advancement le<L to plantations burgeoning in the West Indies and America. Slave importation to the American colonies was escalating to develop a whole system of plantation slavery. Thus began, the second state of slave-trade, which formally lasted until 1807–1808 when it was abolished by England and the US, the predominant slave traders of the time. The third period, one of contraband trade, followed thereafter.
The first two chapters, are concerned with the initial period of slave-trade. The Portuguese were followed, from the 16th* century on, by arrivals in West Africa from the Netherlands, England, and France. The European nations embarked on colonial expansion had by then already seized territories on the American mainland and in the West Indies. The colonies needed cheap labour, and that the Europeans found in Africa.
Nowhere in Africa was the slave hunt more ruthless than in Congo and Angola, with the Portuguese concentrating exclusively on it there as Brazil was opened. The historians tell us that in a century between the 1580s and the 1680s no less than a million slaves were taken to the New World from Angola alone.
Chapter Two is about East Africa in the 16th-18th centuries, the arrival there of Europeans, and their relations with the Swahili Arabs and indigenous Africans. All through that time the Arab slave-trade was far in excess of the Europeans', the book points out. In the 15th-18th centuries, the Arabs kept up the flow of slaves to the East dispite the European presence. The European-American slave-trade picked up in the 19th century, already after nearly all European and American, nations had abolished the practice.
Chapter Three investigates the second period, when the “free” slave-trade was at its apex. The flourishing plantations and mines in the West Indies and both Americas supplying Europe with their products required ever more slave labour: the Barbados colonists alone were pressing for no less than 25,000 sla ves a year to meet their needs. The study shows the way the slave-trade affected Europe, specifically the slave-trading cities like Liverpool, Bristol, Nantes, and others.
Chapter Four considers the systems of slave-trade in West Africa; it peruses a mine of documents like stories by slaveship crewmen, slavers, travellers, as well as parliamentary documents snowing the way the slave-trade was being kept up by sustained demand from Europe. We learn of how Africans were being enslaved through armed raids by Europeans on African villages, brazen hostage-taking, intertribe wars, special “slave-hunting” expeditions, kidnapping, selling people into slavery for crimes on charges often trumped up by the slavers. We further learn about the chief methods of slave purchases by European and American slave-traders. The chapter also describes the trade itself and the wares Africans demanded from the Europeans in exchange for the slaves.
