E’ online il numero speciale della Rivista Business History Review (Volume 97 – Issue 2 – Summer 2023) dedicato a imprese, capitalismo e schiavitù e curato da Marlous van Waijenburg, Harvard Business School, e Anne Ruderman, London School of Economics. Gli articoli contenuti in questo numero contribuiscono a una crescente letteratura sulla storia della schiavitù e sostengono la necessità di ricollocare la storia dell’Africa nei racconti sulla schiavitù e sulla tratta globale degli schiavi.
