Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade Eltis David
A monumental work, decades in the making: the first atlas to illustrate the entire scope of the transatlantic slave tradeBetween 1501 and 1867, the transatlantic slave trade claimed an estimated 12.5 million Africans and involved almost every country with an Atlantic coastline. It features nearly 200 maps, especially created for the volume, that explore every detail of the African slave traffic to the New World. In this extraordinary book, two leading historians have created the first comprehensive, up-to-date atlas on this 350-year history of kidnapping and coercion.
Using maps, David Eltis and David Richardson show which nations participated in the slave trade, where the ships involved were outfitted, The atlas is based on an online database (www.slavevoyages.org) with records on nearly 35,000 slaving voyages--roughly 80 percent of all such voyages ever made.
