Customer Reviews
An exceptional historical narrative - Rated Using an academic (yet accessible) narrative, Walvin successfully educates the reader about the unspeakable horrors of British slavery. The physical and mental colinisation of the African slaves is brilliantly descirbed, as well as the barbaric conditions that made slavery one of history's most durable institutions. This book should be read by anyone who wishes to unravel the historical fabric of black/white race relations in the western world. all this for a smoke and a cup of tea? - Rated Walvin's conclusion that the slave trade was largely driven by British appetite for tobacco and sugar sounds ludicrous and plausible at the same time. To think that the cravings for sweetness could keep the barbarity of the slave trade going over more than two centuries somehow leave a bitter taste in my modern European mouth--good.
