The African-American Slave Trade Reviews

'Both authors handily integrate the historical context of their subjects and introduce controversial questions in a way that encourages readers to make their own judgements. They strike a good balance between overall analyses of social, economic and political trends and the consideration of the individual experiences implied in the series title.' -- Books for Keeps 20021101 'I recommend this book as a useful title for both history and English studies.' -- School Librarian Journal, Winter 2002 20021101
