Description
| The "Après la traversée" (ALT) dataset documents 730 enslaved people’s forced migrations from Africa to Saint-Domingue via the Transatlantic Slave Trade. It is comprised of two source bases: a set of plantation censuses that, uniquely, groups 556 Africans by the slave ship from which they were purchased; and advertisements published in Saint-Domingue newspapers that tie 174 fugitives to the slave ships that carried them to the island. By cross-referencing these sources with www.slavevoyages.org, the 730 individuals can be traced from Africa, across the Atlantic, and then onto their final destinations in Saint-Domingue; an additional set of variables details people’s attempts to resist their captivity. The ALT dataset therefore illuminates the origins, identities, and migratory pathways of Africans dragged through the slave trade. |
