Lisboa: Junta de Investigações Científicas do Ultramar, Centro de Estudos de Antropologia Cultural, 1981. 56 pp.; 245 mm. (Estudos de Antropologia Cultural, n.º 14) Essay in which António Carreira (1905-1988) analyzes the slave trade practiced on the rivers of Guinea and the islands of Cape Verde during the critical period of the abolition of slavery, between 1810 and 1850. The author reconstructs the weak presence of the Portuguese authorities in the face of the impunity of foreign slave traders, identifies the main traffickers established in Guinea before and after abolition, and documents the preferred destinations of the slaves – Brazil (Maranhão and Pará) and the Antilles, particularly Cuba. The work also incorporates the systematic pressure exerted by the British authorities on Lisbon to prevent the illicit trade. Sought after. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
