Description: This volume presents an account of West African slavery in Cuba and Bahia from 1790, arguing that the large numbers of slaves brought to the same plantations from the same areas of West Africa was a factor in many of the slave uprisings of the time, connecting people and events in a fascinating and unique narrative.
