As we approach the bicentenary of the abolition of the Atlantic trade, Walvin
has selected the historical texts that recreate the mindset that made such a
savage institution possible - morally acceptable even. Setting these historical
documents against Walvin's own incisive historical narrative, the two layers of
this extraordinary, definitive account of the Atlantic slave trade enable us to
understand the rise and fall of one of the most shameful chapters in British
history, the repercussions of which the modern world is still living with.
