The writing of a book on the Spanish Empire’s role in the Atlantic Slave Trade, 1402-1898.

This chapter examines the various arrangements Spain made with foreign governments and trading companies to deliver slaves to Spanish territories from 1692 through 1744. It is a chapter of my book in progress, The Atlantic Slave Trade and the Rise and Fall of the Spanish Empire (under contract, Yale University Press).
