- Summary
- Dorsey (history and African-American studies, Purdue U.) examines the role of Puerto Rico in slave acquisitions after the traffic in slaves was outlawed. Drawing on extensive archival sources, he clarifies the differences between Puerto Rican and non-Puerto Rican traffic, from procurement in West Africa to influx into the Caribbean. He also scrutinizes the tactics by which Puerto Rican interest groups avoided abolitionist scrutiny and the extent to which Spain supported these operations.
