Atlantic Slave Trade & Historical Trade Heroes is a course that examines the history and impact of the Atlantic slave trade on African societies and the wider world, focusing on its economic, social, and political consequences. It explores the roles played by African leaders, European traders, and intermediaries in the trade, as well as the resistance, resilience, and contributions of notable historical figures often referred to as trade heroes. The course highlights how the slave trade reshaped economies, disrupted communities, and influenced global trade patterns, while also recognizing individuals and groups who played significant roles in commerce, diplomacy, and efforts to challenge exploitation during this period.
