Slaves and Slavery by James Walvin

Slaves and Slavery by James Walvin

This work aims to describe, in broad outline, the history of slavery and the slave trade in the British colonies up to the abolition of slavery in all British possessions in 1838. It traces its devastating impact on black culture and its transforming effect on the British economy.
