The material relating to the slave trade falls into three general categories: major reports from Select Committees, classified correspondence from British Commissioners, agents and Foreign Powers (including reports from naval officers) and, finally, general reports, correspondence and papers. The classified correspondence provides the official administrative and informatory papers on the extent and conditions of slavery, the slave trade, the efforts to abolish it and the measure of success achieved. Volumes detail Britain's efforts to curb slave trading in Africa and Asia and in the Caribbean and South America. The IUP subject set contains all the papers relating specifically to slavery and the slave trade in each of these categories in the order given, published chronologically. Vol 8, consisting of Instructions issued to Naval Officers engaged in the suppression of the slave trade, an important policy record, is the exception to this arrangement. Papers from the period covered which do not relate specifically to slavery but which contain some material on the subject, or which relate indirectly to slave trade (papers on the supply of Coolie and Indian labourers to the colonies) will be found in such subject sets as IUP Colonies General (e.g., Vol. 1), Africa (e.g., Vol. 5), West Indies, East Indies, etc. -- Publisher's catalogue.

One of the massive transformations that took place in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the movement of millions of people from the status of slaves to that of legally free men, women, and children. Societies after Slavery provides thousands of entries and rich scholarly annotations, making it the definitive resource for scholars and students engaged in research on postemancipation societies in the Americas and Africa.

This third edition of the Reference Guide to Africa explains the most important resources for the study of the continent of Africa. It contains a general sources section and a larger disciplinary oriented section. All sources are annotated. A new edition is sorely needed since the last edition was published nine years ago. The previous editions have been successfully used in research libraries worldwide since 1999, and it has been used to teach several African studies research courses. The book provides an orientation for researching almost any topic in the arts, humanities and social sciences concerning the continent of Africa, and all of its countries and ethnic groups. The first part explains and lists portals, databases, bibliographies, indexes, guides, encyclopedias, country sources, biography, primary sources, government publications, and statistics. The second part presents 16 subject-oriented chapters, mostly in the arts, humanities and social sciences, from agriculture and food security to women studies. It covers sources that broadly cover the continent, or in some cases only North Africa (and the Middle East). It generally excludes sources limited to one country or region of Africa, except for North Africa because of the nature of the literature. One-third of the sources in this edition are new, and nearly half of them are available in electronic format. There are author/title and subject indexes. This unique work is intended for students, teachers, librarians, and researchers. It likely will be used most by reference librarians and teachers for students in high school through graduate studies. It will also be used independently by undergraduate and graduate students. It can be used to answer simple reference questions, provide the resources for an undergraduate paper, or for comprehensive work by advanced students and researchers.
