While the economic involvement of early modern Germany in slavery and the slave trade is increasingly receiving attention, the direct participation of Germans in human trafficking remains a blind spot in historiography. This edited volume focuses on practices of enslavement taking place within German territories in the early modern period as well as on the people of African, Asian, and Native American descent caught up in them.

"Scholars of the Atlantic World must pay attention to the arguments and evidence in this book. For too long Germany and central Europe more generally have not been included in scholarly conversations about the extent and impact of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. At its very heart, this book shows that we cannot ignore the experiences of enslaved people in Germany, nor Germany's connections with slavery and the slave trade." - Rebecca Anne Goetz (New York) in Francia-Recensio 2022/4, Frühe Neuzeit - Revolution - Empire (1500-1815), DOI: https://doi.org/10.11588/frrec.2022.4.92015
