It connects the emergence and consolidation of slavery to specific historical forces both internal and external to the African continent. Sean Stilwell pays special attention to the development of settled agriculture, the invention of kinship, "big men" and centralized states, the role of African economic production and exchange, the interaction of local structures of dependence with the external slave trades (transatlantic, trans-Saharan, Indian Ocean), and the impact of colonialism on slavery in the twentieth century. He also provides an introduction to the central debates that have shaped current understanding of slavery in Africa. The book examines different forms of slavery that developed over time in Africa and introduces readers to the lives, work, and struggles of slaves themselves. Review: covers much that is missing elseware - Slavery that existed in Africa was timeless. Slaves were exported to the north across the Sahara, and east thru the ports on the Indian Ocean for over a thousand years before the Portuguese showed up looking for gold. African slavery is an enormous subject, with many facets covering different times and places. Sometimes slaves could have a life, have a family, and prosper. Other times it could be the worst form of exploitation imaginable. And there were the ones that were sold to ships sailing for Brazil, the Caribbean, America, Asia minor, India, and the far east. There must be more than a hundred million descendants of slaves living in the western hemisphere today. But what became of all those that were sent east? There aren't any populations of black people in Asia today, what is that story? Review: The best book on slavery in Africa - I have read dozens of books on slavery and the slave trades. This counts among the most objective. It is very well researched and covers many areas untouched by other writers who seem to ignore that slavery was present in Africa virtually forever. By the 19th century, after the Atlantic trade ended, it had become institutionalized. He also does a good job of presenting the different roles slaves had from slave wives and concubines, to plantation workers, tax collectors, and human sacrifice,, and the ways slaves were acquired, for example, slave raids, wars, and sold by family members. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,240,756 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #506 in African History (Books) #600 in Slavery & Emancipation History | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 51 Reviews | ## Images ![Slavery and Slaving in African History (New Approaches to African History, Series Number 8) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nrmgcGatL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ covers much that is missing elseware *by J***N on September 8, 2019* Slavery that existed in Africa was timeless. Slaves were exported to the north across the Sahara, and east thru the ports on the Indian Ocean for over a thousand years before the Portuguese showed up looking for gold. African slavery is an enormous subject, with many facets covering different times and places. Sometimes slaves could have a life, have a family, and prosper.

There aren't any populations of black people in Asia today, what is that story? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book on slavery in Africa *by N***B on December 28, 2022* I have read dozens of books on slavery and the slave trades. This counts among the most objective. It is very well researched and covers many areas untouched by other writers who seem to ignore that slavery was present in Africa virtually forever. By the 19th century, after the Atlantic trade ended, it had become institutionalized. He also does a good job of presenting the different roles slaves had from slave wives and concubines, to plantation workers, tax collectors, and human sacrifice,, and the ways slaves were acquired, for example, slave raids, wars, and sold by family members. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A successful textbook *by B***N on April 12, 2022* Anyone who has read "A Fistful Of Shells" mostly does not need to read this book. The additional information was about East Africa and the fate of slavery after the European conquest of Africa. There is also anthropological information about the relation of slavery and kinship in state and less state environments. The writing is very, very dry. ## Frequently Bought Together - Slavery and Slaving in African History (New Approaches to African History, Series Number 8) - Slavery: A World History - The Forgotten Slave Trade: The White European Slaves of Islam --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/186393951-slavery-and-slaving-in-african-history-new-approaches-to-african](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/186393951-slavery-and-slaving-in-african-history-new-approaches-to-african) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-28*
