This book argues that Angola and Brazil were connected; not separated; by the Atlantic Ocean. Roquinaldo Ferreira focuses on the cultural; religious; and social impacts of the slave trade on Angola. Reconstructing biographies of Africans and merchants; he demonstrates how cross-cultural trade; identity formation; religious ties; and resistance to slaving were central to the formation of the Atlantic world. By adding to our knowledge of the slaving process; the book powerfully illustrates how Atlantic slaving transformed key African institutions; such as local regimes of forced labor that predated and coexisted with Atlantic slaving; and made them fundamental features of the Atlantic world's social fabric.
