- Description
- The page presents a brief excerpt from notes written for the consideration of the Council of Trent. Franciscus criticizes the church's shortcomings in its ministry to the slaves and censures the brutality of many masters.

Finally, he condemns the enslavement of persons not captured in just wars or otherwise lawfully stripped of their freedom.

- Description
- "This project is advancing the study of slavery and the African diaspora by identifying, inventorying, and creating a digital archive of rich, underutilized, and at-risk ecclesiastical sources for Africans and persons of African descent in Brazil, Cuba, and the Spanish circum-Caribbean. Ecclesiastical sources are the longest serial data available for the history of Africans in the Americas, beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing through almost the end of the nineteenth century, and many are in perilous condition. Most have never been seen by scholars and if not captured quickly, will never be seen." (Project Description) — The Brazilian source collection is not accessible as yet, but will comprise several ten thousand pages of archival documents dating from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries.

- Description
- [Abstract in the journal:] "This study reconsiders several controversies resulting from the historical debate over 'legitimate' trade–nineteenth-century exports of African commodities other than slaves–in West Africa. The controversies reviewed include the incidence of enslavement in West African warfare; whether slave prices fell as slave exports declined; whether slave trade and 'legitimate' trade were compatible or incompatible; the debate over A. G. Hopkins' thesis of a 'crisis of adaptation' among political leaders; the commercial transition and gender relations; and the relation between the commercial transition and European imperial conquest. Disaggregation, noting the variations in the transition among regions and over time, Law believes, will resolve some of these controversies. Promotion of 'legitimate' trade, linked to the suppression of the slave trade, became a way in which Europeans both opposed slavery and intervened more and more forcefully in Africa throughout the ninteenth century."
