Description
Summary:Drawing heavily on primary sources, Tadman (economic and social history, U. of Liverpool) reconstructs the scale and organization of the interregional slave trade, and interprets the significance of slave sales and forced family separations for the values and cultures of masters and slaves. He suggests not a smooth process of accommodation, but a situation of essentially conflicting worlds. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
