Slave Coast of West Africa 1550-1750 The Impact of the Atlantic Slave Trade on an African Society

"In an impressively researched book that successfully integrates political, economic and social history, Robin Law argues that the western half of the Bight of Benin had a highly market-responsive domestic economy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that was decisively altered by the Atlantic slave trade....Law's arguments about the significant connections between the slave trade and African economic and political development will be debated seriously by historians who play down the links, and his book will surely stimulate further regional studies of the west African slave coast."Law, Robin is the author of 'Slave Coast of West Africa 1550-1750 The Impact of the Atlantic Slave Trade on an African Society' with ISBN 9780198202288 and ISBN 0198202288.
