About this title: This book explores Africa's involvement in the Atlantic world from the fifteenth century to the eighteenth century. It focuses especially on the causes and consequences of the slave trade, in Africa, in Europe, and in the New World. African institutions, political events, and economic structures shaped Africa's voluntary involvement in the Atlantic arena before 1680. Africa's economic and military strength gave African elites the capacity to determine how trade with Europe developed.

"Easy to skim, but not exactly the most engaging writing. Nicely situates "Africa" (to use a totalizing term) as an equal partner in the emergence of the Atlantic world."
"This book challenges the assumption that Africa was a backward, savage continent making it an easy target for greedy Eurpean slave traders. You will think differently about the nature of the transatlantic slave trade after reading this book."
"Great on the African end of the trade. Interesting comment I remember: the selling of slaves in Africa was like how we sell real estate today -- a commodity like everything else. Since there was no private property ownership, slaves were the major item of sale. Having Europeans get involved in that did not shock them at all."
