About the origins, growth, and consolidation of African slavery in the Americas and race-based slavery's impact on the economic, social, and cultural development of the New World. While the book explores the idea of the African slave as a tool in the formation of new American societies, it also acknowledges the culture, humanity, and importance of the slave as a person and highlights the role of women in slave societies.

The international group of scholars brought together in this volume explain Spain's role as a colonial pioneer in the Atlantic world and its latecomer status as a slave-trading, plantation-based empire.
Discusses the issue of slavery experienced by the Blacks in Latin America. He explores the slave life experienced by the Black community as well as examines the role of gender, culture and ethnicity in evaluating the narrative of slavery and freedom in the country.
