Author: Miller, Joseph Calder
Title: WAY OF DEATH. Merchant Capitalism and the Angolan Slave Trade, 1730-1830.
Description: Madison, University of Wisconsin Press, 1988. 1st edition 770 pp. cloth with dustjacket. With extraordinary skill, Joseph C. Miller explores the complex relationships among the separate economies of Africa, Europe, and the South Atlantic that collectively supported the slave trade. He places the grim history of the trade itself within the context of the rise of merchant capitalism in the eighteenth century. Throughout, Miller illuminates the experiences of the slaves themselves, reconstructing what can be known of their sufferings at the hands of their buyers and sellers. Dustjacket shows edgewear and few tears (corners). Book itself very nice and clean.
