- This 115,000-word monograph is the result of eight years of research. The book’s transnational sweep is supported by research in nineteen archives in the United States and Britain, along with fieldwork conducted in Sierra Leone. The sparse secondary literature on the eighteenth-century American slave trade made it necessary to conduct extensive primary research simply to develop the proper context, with virtually every relevant archival collection having been consulted. The African sections necessitated the mastery of an extensive secondary literature on the upper Guinea coast. The work therefore contributes equally to the literature on early American, Atlantic, and African history.
