Brown. 520 8 Annotation While most studies of the slave trade focus on the volume of captives and on their ethnic origins, the question of how the Africans organized their familial and communal lives to resist and assail it has not received adequate attention. But our picture of the slave trade is incomplete without an examination of the ways in which men and women responded to the threat and reality of enslavement and deportation. Fighting the Slave Trade is the first book to explore in a systematic manner the strategies Africans used to protect and defend themselves and their communities from the onslaught of the Atlantic slave trade a nd how they assaulted it. It challenges widely held myths of African passivity and general complicity in the trade and shows that resistance to enslavement and to involvement in the slave trade was much more pervasive than has been acknowledged by the orthodox interpretation of historical literature. Focused on West Africa, the essays collected here examine in detail the defensive, protective, and offensive strategies of individuals, families, communities, and states. In ch apters discussing the manipulation of the environment, resettlement, the redemption of captives, the transformation of social relations, political centralization, marronage, violent assaults on ships and ports, shipboard revolts, and controlled participation in the slave trade as a way to procure the means to attack it, Fighting the Slave Trade presents a much more complete picture of the West African slave trade than has previously been available. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Slave trade|zAfrica, West|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010113218|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 7 Slave trade.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1120405 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 West Africa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1239521 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1423772 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2lcgft|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 700 1 Diouf, Sylviane A.|q(Sylviane Anna),|d1952-|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n98042742 776 08 |iPrint version:|tFighting the slave trade.|dAthens, Ohio : Ohio University Press ; Oxford, England : James Currey, 2003|w(DLC) 2003056308|w(OCoLC)52455402 830 0 Western African studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n00047018 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=818138|zOnline eBook.
