Where the Negroes are masters : an African port in the era of the slave trade

Sparks, Randy J.2013
Books
Annamaboe was the largest slave trading port on the 18th-century Gold Coast, and it was home to successful, wily African merchants whose unusual partnerships with their European counterparts made the town and its people an integral part of the Atlantic's webs of exchange. This book brings to life the outpost's feverish commercial bustle and continual brutality, recovering the experiences of the entrepreneurial black and white men who thrived on the lucrative traffic in human beings.
