"In The Danish Slave Trade and Its Abolition, Erik G�bel offers an account of the well-documented Danish transatlantic slave trade.

The comprehensive Danish archival material provides the basis for G�bel's descriptions of the volume and composition of the slave trade and trade cargoes, as well as the shipping and conditions on board along the Middle Passage. Attention is also paid to the 1791 Danish Slave Trade Commission report and the final decision to abolish the slave trade altogether"--Provided by publisher.
