Slave Trade in the Indian Ocean
While the trans‐Atlantic slave trade has been thoroughly documented in a database of slaving voyages freely available to the public, few comparable resources focus on the traffic across the Indian Ocean and Asia exist. This article seeks to change that picture by discussing the preliminary findings of a research project aimed at expanding the geographic coverage of SlaveVoyages, the premier database of slaving voyages available to the public. Sin…

The Ethnic Distribution of the Enslaved Population of Southern Mozambique following the Mfecane
The Nguni upheavals of the early 19th century, commonly known as the Mfecane, not only changed the political landscape of southern Mozambique but also shaped the ethnic distribution of the enslaved population living in that region. While the causes of the Mfecane have been discussed in depth, little attention has been paid to the impact of the Mfecane on the history of slavery and the slave trade in southern Mozambique. This article seeks to brid…

Genoese Entrepreneurship and the Asiento Slave Trade, 1650-1700
The history of Genoa and Genoese entrepreneurship in the seventeenth century has long been characterized as one of decline in the face of expanding northern European interests, particularly from the Netherlands and the British Isles. Not anymore. Alejandro García-Montón's book shows that, far from declining, Genoa and Genoese entrepreneurs adjusted to the new political and economic realities brought by European overseas expansion and helped shape…
Abolition and the Registration of Slaves and Libertos in Portuguese Mozambique, 1856–76
Beginning in 1856 and ending in 1876, Portuguese colonial authorities in Mozambique registered almost 55,000 enslaved and freed Africans ( libertos ). The sources for these twinned registration processes are located in the national archives of Portugal and Mozambique. Fragments of the originals survive for only six of the ten districts of the colony, but contemporary copies exist for nearly all districts. Combined, they provide a unique opportuni…
Resistência, sobrevivência e associativismo
Este dossiê apresenta resultados inéditos de uma agenda de investigação que problematiza a dinâmica das relações sociais, no Brasil, discutindo como as populações escravizadas e libertas montaram estratégias de sobrevivência e de reinvenção em territórios demarcados pela escravidão moderna por meio do associativismo. Os artigos se espraiam entre os séculos XVIII e XX, abrangem diversas regiões brasileiras e ampliam as percepções de como negras e …

Amazonia and North-East Brazil in the Atlantic slave trade
Brazil was the most important destination for enslaved Africans forced into the Atlantic between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. While Rio de Janeiro became the country's leading slave port, the regions north of Rio were no small players in the business. This article uses the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database to analyze the evolution of the traffic to Amazonia and Northeast Brazil. It provides an assessment of its volume, orientation, a…
The interprovincial slave trade from Rio de Janeiro, 1809–1833
In the 19th century, Rio de Janeiro emerged as the largest slaving port in the Americas. Every year, ships, mainly from Brazil and Portugal, poured thousands of enslaved Africans in that port. But what happened to them after they disembarked? This paper examines a database of passports and other sources compiled by the Brazilian Institute of Applied Economic Research to address that question. It also discusses the challenges and methods of adjust…
The Reinvention of Atlantic Slavery
Daniel Rood's The Reinvention of Atlantic Slavery looks into the transformations of slavery in the New World—especially in Cuba, Brazil, and the US South—following the Haitian Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, the Industrial Revolution, and the gradual antislavery turn of the British Empire. It argues that the institution “did not simply drift toward dissolution” but rather “migrated to new places and incorporated new kinds of industrial technolog…
Finn Fuglestad. Slave Traders by Invitation
No other African region has attracted more attention from historians of the slave trade than the so-called “Slave Coast” of West Africa, the 320-kilometer shoreline extending from the mouth of the Volta River, in present-day Ghana, to Lagos, in Nigeria. Although not exactly the largest region of slave embarkation, it was in fact an important player in that infamous trade, not only because of the sheer number of enslaved Africans transported, but …
African Dominion
The era of formal colonialism is long gone but its effects still linger in popular views of Africa. From time to time a politician, or some other influential public figure, echoes the old adage that Africa has no history, let alone high-culture or civilization. Michael A. Gomez's brilliant new book, African Dominion: A New History of Empire in Early and Medieval West Africa, offers another powerful rebuttal to such misconceptions. African Dominio…

Museu do Aljube Resistência e Liberdade, Lisbon, Portugal
Nestled against the slopes of Saint George Hill, the Museu do Aljube Resistência e Liberdade (Museum of Aljube Resistance and Freedom) is located in a highly touristic site of Lisbon, Portugal, near the city’s famous medieval cathedral. References to the building’s location date from as early as the first century, when the Romans ruled Lisbon. Its name, however, comes from the period of the Islamic occupation (from the eighth to the twelfth centu…
Atlantic Slavery and the Slave Trade
Over the past six decades, the historiography of Atlantic slavery and the slave trade has shown remarkable growth and sophistication. Historians have marshalled a vast array of sources and offered rich and compelling explanations for these two great tragedies in human history. The survey of this vibrant scholarly tradition throws light on major theoretical and interpretive shifts over time and indicates potential new pathways for future research.…

The Atlantic Slave Trade from West Central Africa, 1780–1867
The Atlantic Slave Trade from West Central Africa, 1780–1867, traces the inland origins of slaves leaving West Central Africa at the peak period of the transatlantic slave trade. Drawing on archival sources from Angola, Brazil, England, and Portugal, Daniel B. Domingues da Silva explores not only the origins of the slaves forced into the trade but also the commodities for which they were exchanged and their methods of enslavement. Further, the bo…

The Atlantic Slave Trade to Maranhão, 1680-1846
Maranhão has the best documented slave trade in all Portuguese America. However, it is one of the least studied branches of the Atlantic slave trade. This article provides an assessment of the volume, routes and organisation of the slave trade to Maranhão, in northern Brazil. It shows that, although small in scale, the slave trade to Maranhão displayed important features concerning the routes and organisation of the Atlantic slave trade. Finally,…

The transatlantic Muslim diaspora to Latin America in the nineteenth century
Since the 16th century, African Muslims figured prominently among the slave population of the Americas. While the number of Muslims pulled into the trade has always been a matter of speculation, lists of Africans rescued from slave ships provide us with some clues about the size and direction of the Muslim diaspora to Latin America in the 19th century. Based on an analysis of tens of thousands of names recorded in these lists, this essay argues t…

The Kimbundu Diaspora to Brazil
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was a major slave trading port in the nineteenth century, with most of the slaves coming from Angola, in West Central Africa. The inland origins of these captives, however, are still largely ignored. This article traces the linguistic origins of slaves transported from Angola to Rio de Janeiro based on the names of Africans liberated from the slave ship Brilhante in 1838. It shows that a significant proportion of these Afr…

From beyond the Kwango - Tracing the Linguistic Origins of Slaves Leaving Angola, 1811-1848
The Kwango River has long been viewed as the limit of the transatlantic traders' access to the main sources of slaves in the interior of Angola, the principal region of slave embarkation to the Americas. However, no estimates of the size and distribution of this huge migration exist. This article examines records of liberated Africans from Cuba and Sierra Leone available on the African Origins Portal to estimate how many slaves came from that par…
