520 8 This book provides a thematic history of Africa from the
perspective of slavery. It examines the internal and
external influences and argues that slavery was a central
institution in many parts of Africa.|bThis history of
African slavery from the fifteenth to the early twentieth
centuries examines how indigenous African slavery
developed within an international context. Paul E. Lovejoy
discusses the medieval Islamic slave trade and the
Atlantic trade as well as the enslavement process and the
marketing of slaves. He considers the impact of European
abolition and assesses slavery's role in African history.
The book corrects the accepted interpretation that African
slavery was mild and resulted in the slaves' assimilation.
Instead, slaves were used extensively in production,
although the exploitation methods and the relationships to
world markets differed from those in the Americas.
Nevertheless, slavery in Africa, like slavery in the
Americas, developed from its position on the periphery of
capitalist Europe. This new edition revises all
statistical material on the slave trade demography and
incorporates recent research and an updated bibliography.
