- This 11,000-word article condenses an international research programme stretching over fifteen years. It involved the collection of a huge amount of complex data from archives in Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as privately held estate records in Scandinavia that had never before been used in historical analysis. The authors had also to master an extensive and disputatious archaeological and anthropological literature on African metallurgy. The outcome was a prize-winning study of the slave Atlantic that addressed multiple spatial and social contexts from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century.
