The African-American Slave Trade by R G Grant
Between 1500 and 1870, some 12 million slaves were shipped from Africa, destined for sale in the New World. This book explains how this came about and the impact of the slave trade both on Africa and the Americas. It considers the suffering and resistance of the slaves themselves through first-hand accounts. Finally, it describes how slavery was abolished and looks at the shadow it has cast down to the present day.
'Both authors handily integrate the historical context of their subjects and introduce controversial questions in a way that encourages readers to make their own judgementsThey 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
Reg Grant trained as an historian at Oxford University. He has written several history books for children.
