ABSTRACT

Brazil was the most important destination for enslaved Africans forced into the Atlantic between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. While Rio de Janeiro became the country's leading slave port, the regions north of Rio were no small players in the business. This article uses the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database to analyze the evolution of the traffic to Amazonia and Northeast Brazil. It provides an assessment of its volume, orientation, and organization. Rio may have eventually dominated the traffic, but the participation of its northern neighbors laid down the foundations for this most notorious trade.

大西洋奴隶贸易中的亚马逊和巴西东北部：对里约热内卢北部巴西奴隶贸易的评估

摘要

在16至19世纪之间，巴西是非洲被奴役非洲人最重要的目的地。尽管里约热内卢成为该国的主要奴隶港口，但里约以北的地区在该行业中并不是小人物。本文使用跨大西洋奴隶贸易数据库来分析到亚马逊州和巴西东北部的交通量的演变。它提供了对其数量，方向和组织的评估。里约可能最终主导了这一交通，但北部邻国的参与为这一最臭名昭著的贸易奠定了基础。
