The History of the Dutch Slave Trade, A Bibliographical Survey

This article is written with a twofold aim: first to summarize the most important data about the Dutch share in the Atlantic slave trade and secondly to present a guide for those interested in more details. The student of comparative slave trade history, especially, finds himself at a loss when he wants to incorporate the results of the study of the Dutch slave trade into a more general picture. In what period were the Dutch important slave traders? To which areas did they bring slaves? Where did they usually purchase their Negroes? What was the development ,of buyingand sellingprices? It is the fate of the Dutch language that only a limited number of scholars are able to read Dutch publications. Therefore, this bibliographical survey mainly consists of data already published in Dutch on the history of the Dutch slave trade.
