Between 1500 and the middle of the nineteenth century, some 12.5 million slaves were
sent as bonded labour from Africa to the European settlements in the Americas. Eric
Nellis's remarkable synthesis, Shaping the New World, introduces students to the origins,
growth, and consolidation of African slavery in the Americas. While the book explores
the idea of the African slave as a tool in the formation of new American societies,
it also acknowledges the culture, humanity, and importance of the slave as a person
and highlights the role of women in slave societies. Serving as the third book in
the UTP/CHA International Themes and Issues Series, Shaping the New World introduces
readers to the topic of African slavery in the New World from a comparative perspective,
specifically focusing on the English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch slave
systems
