In the shadow of slavery : Africa's botanical legacy in the Atlantic world
Judith Ann Carney (Author), Richard Nicholas Rosomoff (Author)
The transatlantic slave trade forced millions of Africans into bondage. Until the early nineteenth century, African slaves came to the Americas in greater numbers than Europeans. In the Shadow of Slavery provides a startling new assessment of the Atlantic slave trade and upends conventional wisdom by shifting attention from the crops slaves were forced to produce to the foods they planted for their own nourishment
