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.
