American Slavers by Sean M Kelley
The first telling of the unknown story of Americas two-hundred-year history as a slave-trading nation
“A work of impressive breadth, deep research, and evenhanded analysis”—James Oakes, New York Review of Books
“An authoritative historical account of American involvement in the slave trade. . . . A brutal but compelling read.”—The Tablet
“This book will for many years to come be the only comprehensive and integrated overview of U.S. involvement in the North American–based slave trade from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries.”—David Eltis, coauthor of Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade
“This is one of the best syntheses of the history of the U.S. slave trade ever written. A book that offers not only a great historical narrative of a long-term process but also dives into specific themes in new ways.”—Leonardo Marques, Universidade Federal Fluminense
