The Portuguese Slave Trade From Angola in the Eighteenth Century

Herbert S. Klein

The Journal of Economic History, 1972, vol. 32, issue 4, 894-918

Abstract: Recently the Atlantic slave trade has received scholarly attention through the work of European and American historians. Account books of European merchants engaged in the slave trade, studies of the exports of given continental ports, and analyses of special trade routes have all led to a greater understanding of the dynamics of the trade. Also, the important work of Philip Curtin on the volume and direction of the entire Atlantic slave trade has finally provided us with the rough parameters of the trade in terms of total numbers.
