SDL -----Original Message----- From: Jo Prytherch [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 13, 2006 7:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NC-PCFR] History of Slavery in the Western World Debbie, the institution of slavery was much larger than the American South. There is a book SINS OF THE FATHERS, A Study of the Atlantic Slave Traders 1441-1807 by James Pope-Hennessy that many on this list might want to read. It was copywrited by the author, an Englishman, in 1967 and originally published about that time. The book pretty thoroughly covers the subject from the beginning of Western European involvement in slave trading with the Americas until the end of slavery in those areas of the world. In 1998 Barnes and Nobles published a later edition with no changes as far as I know. If you can't find it on inter-library loan, it may be available second-hand from Amazon.com. I have found their used books to be in better condition than their ratings would indicate and priced quite reasonably.
