Focusing on the British Empire, Faber assesses the extent to which Jews participated in the institution of slavery through investment in slave trading companies, ownership of slave ships, commercial activity as merchants who sold slaves upon their arrival from Africa, and direct ownership of slaves. A crucial corrective, this book lays to rest one of the most contested historical controversies of our time.
