The Making of New World Slavery: From the Baroque to the Modern, 1492-1800 - Verso World History Series 2nd edition
Robin Blackburn
Tracing European doctrines of race and slavery from medieval times to the early modern epoch, this title argues that independent commerce, geared to burgeoning consumer markets, was the driving force behind the rise of plantation slavery. It examines the deployment of slaves in colonial possessions of the Portuguese, the English and the French.
