Migration, Trade, and Slavery in an Expanding World: Essays in Honor of Pieter Emmer: 2 (European Expansion and Indigenous Response, 2) - Hardcover

"This volume is a welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on the Atlantic world. Two of its strengths are the wider-geographic coverage, particularly European migration to the East Indies and West Africa, and its focus on a wider time period from 1500 to 1900. The volume's balance between established scholars and graduate students allows for the presentation of essays based on ideas and scholarship fleshed out over several years and novel inquiries and approaches to untapped areas, respectively. Moreover, though the volume lacks a central focus, another strength is the coverage of a wide range of topics from the establishment of empires to the abolition of slavery and a discussion of decolonisation."
- Joseph Avitable (Albertus Magnus College), Itinerario, January 2010, pp. 127 - 129

The twelve essays explore three connected aspects of European expansion in the period between 1500 and 1900 - migration, trade, and slavery - with some attention given to present-day echoes from that era.
