'The Importation of Slaves and 'Prize Negroes' at the Cape, 1797-1818', unpublished MA thesis, University of Cape Town, 1997 (supervisor, Professor Nigel Anthony Worden) (original) (raw)

This thesis demonstrates the continuation of slave importation at the Cape during the early British rule, when the slave trade was regulated, then outlawed (1807), from 1797 to 1818. Appendices I and II provide a useful and painstakingly researched dataset of the slave trade (1797-1822). This thesis is a valuable resource to students of the Indian Ocean slave trade. The author has vastly extended his original dataset, to cover slave traffic passing the Cape during the period 1644-1860. Portions of the dataset are available upon request.
