Between 1501 and 1867, the transatlantic slave trade claimed an estimated 12.5 million Africans and involved almost every country with an Atlantic coastline. In this extraordinary book, two leading historians have created the first comprehensive, up-to-date atlas on this 350-year history of kidnapping and coercion. It features nearly 200 maps, especially created for the volume, that explore every detail of the African slave traffic to the New World. The atlas is based on an online database (www.slavevoyages.org) with records on nearly 35,000 slaving voyages—roughly 80 percent of all such voyages ever made. Using maps, David Eltis and David Richardson show which nations participated in the slave trade, where the ships involved were outfitted, where the captives boarded ship, and where they were landed in the Americas, as well as the experience of the transatlantic voyage and the geographic dimensions of the eventual abolition of the traffic. Accompanying the maps are illustrations and contemporary literary selections, including poems, letters, and diary entries, intended to enhance readers’ understanding of the human story underlying the trade from its inception to its end.
This groundbreaking work provides the fullest possible picture of the extent and inhumanity of one of the largest forced migrations in history.

From Booklist
*Starred Review* Based on the groundbreaking, free Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, which tracks approximately 35,000 slave-trade voyages (about 80 percent of all of them ever made), the information presented here is a result of a collaboration between African American studies programs at Harvard and Emory Universities and features contributions from scholars from all over the world. The atlas is organized around the 189 maps that were created especially for this volume. The maps, in turn, are broken down into six major categories: �Nations Transporting Slaves from Africa,� �Ports Outfitting Voyages in the Transatlantic Slave Trade,� �The African Coastal Origins of Slaves and the Links between Africa and the Atlantic World,� �The Experience of the Middle Passage,� �The Destinations of Slaves in the Americas and Their Links with the Atlantic World,� and �Abolition and Suppression of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.� The scope of coverage is from 1501 to 1867. Users looking for statistics will be delighted by the plethora of tables and charts, ranging from the broad to the specific. An example of the former is �Estimated Number of Slaves Carried on Vessels Leaving Major Coastal Regions of Africa,� while an example of the latter is �List of Sick and Dying Slaves on Board Ship Brandenbourg, 1791�1792.� Yet the personal and human side of the story of the slave trade is not buried under numbers here. Numerous examples of primary resources, such as poems, diary entries, and contemporaneous literary selections, are included. Photographs of artifacts, like metal branding irons and handwritten records of deaths on specific voyages, lend poignancy to the story. Information is presented in small, easily digestible bits, making this appropriate for students, yet the maps and tables are detailed enough to be of use to serious academic researchers. The large size of the volume, along with its gorgeous, colorful maps and illustrations, makes this nearly as much a work of art as a reference work, and it would be an excellent addition to nearly any reference collection. --Michael Tosko
Review
"A monumental chronicle of this historical tragedy, one that records some 35,000 individual slaving voyages, roughly 80 percent of those made. . . .

New Awareness
By Runnymead
The Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade (Eltis & Richardson, 2010) makes the enormity of 300 years of slave trading much more clear than would a ten-thousand word essay. The charts provide ample food for thought. The commentary is clear, crisp, and sparse enough to allow the reader to reflection on the patterns. The charts make any need for moralizing mute.
Until I viewed this text I had never realized the depth and breadth of the slave trade both in terms of the totality of European nations involved and the vast numbers of humans extracted from African ports. The willingness of the peoples on the coast of Africa to sell their neighbors to the traders was surprising. Dealing with human lives as a commodity must have seemed quite alright to many people in their time. However, nothing seems to have changed if we consider the widespread complacency with genocide not just in Africa but throughout the world.

Atlas of Infamy
By R. Albin
This superbly produced book is a pictorial distillation of a major scholarly effort to characterize and quantify the trans-Atlantic slave trade, The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database (this database has a very nice website; Amazon doesn't allow links to be posted but its found easily via Google). Assembled over the course of many years by an international team of historians, this database is based on analysis of over 35,000 slave trading voyages. The result is a remarkable assessment of the magnitude and historical evolution of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. To make this information easily acessible, the authors developed an extensive set of maps capturing much of the data.
Major features include the division of the trans-Atlantic slave trade into 3 periods:
1) 1500 to the mid-17th century, when the trade was dominated by the Spanish and Portugese.
2) mid-17th century to the first decade of 19th century, when the trade was entered by Northern Europeans, notably the Dutch, the French, and the British, though Portugese slavers headquartered in Brazil were major figures.
3) first decade of the 19th century to mid-19th century, the age of abolition as the slave trade gradually came to a close and the trade was dominated by Spanish traders in Cuba and Portugese-Brazilian traders.
Another major feature, driven by the nature of Atlantic currents and wind patterns, is the existence of 2 major slave trading circuits. A supra-Equatorial circuit serving the Caribbean, North America, and parts of the Spanish Empire. A sub-Equatorial circuit dominated the trade feeding Brazil.
The maps capture the volume of the trade across various periods, where slaves were shipped from and ports of destination, which European powers participated at different times, information about the suppression of the trade, and many, many other features. The quantification is impressive. There is a reasonably reliable estimate of 12.5 million slaves shipped over 3.5 centuries. Mortality rates in the Middle Passage appear to have averaged 10-15%, which means well over a million deaths over that interval.
The maps are beautifully prepared, easy to grasp, and accompanied by short and informative captions. The maps are interspersed with selections from interesting documents about the slave trade and some arresting images. There are short thoughtful introductory and closing essays by David Brion Davis and David Blight, respectively.

An accomplishment of epic magnitude
By Keith Wheelock
This astonishing scholarship, based on a laboriously created web site, is the tabula rosa of the Atlantic slave trade. Dedicated to Philip Curtin, who was the pioneer in collecting and assessing Atlantic trade data, David Eltis and David Richardson provide an atlas in which the full nature of this slave trade is easily accessible.
Much of their data comes from the logs of tens of thousands of voyages. They also draw on documentation from the sending and receiving ports. Breaking down slave voyages in different periods, one can visually capture both the changes and the specific providers.
The introduction by David Brion Davis, also a pioneer in this area, provides a cohesive overview to what follows. The brief summaries, as well as the illustrations, assist the reader in absorbing an overwhelming collection of data.
A number of scholars--Hugh Thomas's massive THE SLAVE TRADE comes immediately to mind--have paved the way for what clearly is the definitive portrayal of the magnitude as well as the specifics of this Atlantic slave trade. For generalists the fact that only about 500,000 Africans were sent to North American territories (about 4% of the total Atlantic slave trade) might seem surprising. Also, those Africans in North America multiplied, while the millions of Africans sent to Caribbean sugar plantations seldom lasted seven years.
The authors do not envisage any breakthrough scholarship on an earlier aspect of the African slave trade, which brought countless Africans into the slave markets of the Mediterranean.There apparently are no records remaining from slave traders who took their 'merchandise' across the Sahara. The Arab countries along the southern Mediterranean do not seem keen to encourage investigation of the magnitude of this slave trade, which may have included millions of souls. Ronald Segal's ISLAM'S BLACK SLAVES: THE OTHER BLACK DIASPORA provides an indication of a significant Saharan slave trade with precious few details as to whether 10 million or one million is a more accurate magnitude for this pre-Atlantic slave trade episode.
