商品簡介
In the 18th century, points out Marques (Instituo de Investigacao Cientifica Tropical) the trans-Atlantic slave trade was merely another instance of trafficking in people that had been going on and accepted throughout the Old World for centuries, and so no one would particularly expect it to end. Yet a century later it did end, and not from bloody revolt, but because Western government banned it for themselves and gradually forced the rest of the world to comply. He narrates the process as it took place in Portugal and Brazil. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
