Alinta is a large village in the Slave Coast, a vast region on the west coast of Africa where millions of slaves fed the Transatlantic slave trade for 350 years. Obi is among the local slave raiders who profits from the trade. He seizes Alinta and turns it into a base for his activities. His brutality consists of plunder, rape, large scale seizures of people, kidnapping, and fighting off the natives of Alinta who want their territory back. Then British colonialism and Christianity come to the land, setting up an inevitable clash. The new order brooks no destabilizing activities which the slave trade causes, and the Christians want to win souls for Christ. Converted freed slaves are significant players in the outcome.

The Slave Coast, situated in what is now the West African state of Benin, was the epicentre of the Atlantic Slave Trade. But it was also an inhospitable, surf-ridden coastline, subject to crashing breakers and devoid of permanent human settlement. Nor was it easily accessible from the interior due to a lagoon which ran parallel to the coast. The local inhabitants were not only sheltered against incursions from the sea, but were also locked off from it. Yet, paradoxically, it was this coastline that witnessed a thriving long-term commercial relation-ship between Europeans and Africans, based on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. How did it come about? How was it all organised? And how did the locals react to the opportunities these new trading relations offered them? The Kingdom of Dahomey is usually cited as the Slave Coast's archetypical slave raiding and slave trading polity. An inland realm, it was a latecomer to the slave trade, and simply incorporated a pre-existing system by dint of military prowess, which ultimately was to prove radically counterproductive. Fuglestad's book seeks to explain the Dahomean 'anomaly' and its impact on the Slave Coast's societies and polities.

American Book Award Winner 2016 The American Slave Coast offers a provocative vision of US history from earliest colonial times through emancipation that presents even the most familiar events and figures in a revealing new light. Authors Ned and Constance Sublette tell the brutal story of how the slavery industry made the reproductive labor of the people it referred to as "breeding women" essential to the young country's expansion. Captive African Americans in the slave nation were not only laborers, but merchandise and collateral all at once. In a land without silver, gold, or trustworthy paper money, their children and their children's children into perpetuity were used as human savings accounts that functioned as the basis of money and credit in a market premised on the continual expansion of slavery. Slaveowners collected interest in the form of newborns, who had a cash value at birth and whose mothers had no legal right to say no to forced mating. This gripping narrative is driven by the power struggle between the elites of Virginia, the slave-raising "mother of slavery," and South Carolina, the massive importer of Africans—a conflict that was central to American politics from the making of the Constitution through the debacle of the Confederacy. Virginia slaveowners won a major victory when Thomas Jefferson's 1808 prohibition of the African slave trade protected the domestic slave markets for slave-breeding. The interstate slave trade exploded in Mississippi during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, drove the US expansion into Texas, and powered attempts to take over Cuba and other parts of Latin America, until a disaffected South Carolina spearheaded the drive to secession and war, forcing the Virginians to secede or lose their slave-breeding industry. Filled with surprising facts, fascinating incidents, and startling portraits of the people who made, endured, and resisted the slave-breeding industry, The American Slave Coast culminates in the revolutionary Emancipation Proclamation, which at last decommissioned the capitalized womb and armed the African Americans to fight for their freedom.

This book studies the impact of the Atlantic slave trade on the 'Slave Coast' of West Africa, an area covering modern south-eastern Ghana, Togo, Benin, and south-western Nigeria. This region was one of the most important sources of slaves for the Atlantic slave trade, and its history providesan exceptionally well-documented illustration of the effect of the trade on the indigenous African societies involved in it. The expansion of slave exports during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries coincided with a period of political disorder, which ended with the rise of the newkingdom of Dahomey. Dahomey was a more militarized and more politically centralized state than those which preceded it in the region, and its distinctive character reflected the impact of the slave trade. This is the first detailed study of the early history of the Slave Coast for over twenty years. Robin Law examines the events which preceded the rise of Dahomey, the organization of the slave trade and its impact on the domestic economy, and the social and political structures of Dahomey and itspredecessors. This is a meticulously researched, lucid, and scholarly analysis which makes an important contribution to the history of both early modern European expansion and pre-colonial West Africa.

Excerpt from Seven Years' Service on the Slave Coast of Western Africa, Vol. 1 of 2 There are few who do not remember the strenuous and laudable efforts which were made at first by a few men, solely guided by what they felt to be the dictates of piety and integrity, and whose perseverance in placing before the British mind the enormous iniquity of the slave trade, succeeded in inculcating a feeling of remorse, which they hoped would only terminate its existence with that of the revolting trade itself. This philanthropic school founded by perhaps not more than three men, Clarkson, Wilberforce, and Allen, by the force and truth of their humane representations, (so far as regarded the injustice of slavery in the abstract, ) not only drew around it a host of supporters equally zealous in tracing the several avenues which led to the attainment of the freedom of the enslaved African, and ready to follow the banner elevated in that cause, but by its growth and earnest appeals it also attracted the attention of the statesman, whether he regarded it as a sound measure of policy, a great and moral justice, or whether he saw in its ready adoption the means of enhancing his own power and of gratifying his own ambition by using it for the mere purposes of rendering himself prominent as an advocate of so popular a subject.
