Dear Professor Acioli,

There is a forthcoming publication titled Slaving Paths: Rebuilding and
Rethinking the Atlantic World (Cambria Press, 2010) which promises to expand
upon the existing scholarship on the qualitative and quantitative dimensions of
the slave trade by employing research from the database.  I have used the slave
voyages database both to quantify the number of Africans brought to Georgia
during the lifespan of the trade (1750-1858) and flesh out the ethnicity and
regional origins of Africans.  My research on this subject will appear in the
Journal of African American History (Summer 2010) and is titled "Rice,
Resistance, and Forced Transatlantic Communities: (Re)Envisioning the African
Diaspora in Low Country Georgia, 1750-1800."

Sincerely,
