The essays in this collection deserve our attention. HISTORY
A fine example of uncovering a slave past that had been previously, sometimes deliberately, obscured. JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY
Admirably achieves a dual purpose: offering a detailed and very specific study of unknown areas of the slave trade while providing a very good synthesis of essential questions like black agency, unfree labor, the compatibility between material interest and moral conscience, thus significantly advancing the field of research on that subject. SLAVERY & ABOLITION
The essays reveal the ways in which central Europeans were entangled in the world that Atlantic slavery made. They unearth original data...that illustrate the extraordinary reach of transatlantic slavery. ECONOMIC HISTORY REVIEW
