  While the British were able to accomplish abolition in the trans-Atlantic world by the end of the nineteenth century, their efforts paradoxically caused a great increase in legal and illegal slave trading in the western Indian Ocean. This title offers a study of slavery and abolition in the 19th century Indian Ocean world.
