Publisher's Comments (cont.)
In the 18th century, points out Marques (Instituo de Investigaçáo Cientifica Tropical) the trans-Atlantic slave trade was merely another instance of trafficking in people that had been going on and accepted throughout the Old World for centuries, and so no one would particularly expect it to end.

He narrates the process as it took place in Portugal and Brazil. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
