Description

The work opens with a vivid portrait of how European explorers first encountered the peoples of Guinea, turning curiosity into a ruthless trade. By following the chronicle of Portuguese and Spanish expeditions, it shows how early voyages of discovery quickly gave way to the capture and transport of Africans to the New World. Readers are guided through the shifting attitudes that moved from superficial admiration to systematic exploitation.

From there the book expands into a comprehensive survey of the plantation system that defined American slavery. It examines everything from the organization of large estates and daily labor routines to the legal frameworks, economic arguments, and even the lives of town slaves and free Black people. The careful collection of contemporary sources and statistical data offers a clear, nuanced picture of how a continent’s labor was controlled and profited from.
