Enslaving Spirits: the Portuguese-brazilian Alcohol Trade at Luanda and Its Hinterland, C. 1550-1830 (The Atlantic World, 2)
Jose C. Curto
This volume deals with imported alcohol at Luanda and its hinterland, where it was heavily used to acquire captives for the Atlantic slave trade. Aside from highlighting the complexities of this singular economic component of Atlantic slaving, its focus on changing West -Central African alcohol consumption patterns through the importation of foreign intoxicants reveals an important element of the social history of African societies before the modern colonial period.
