- Translator's note—The English translation of both terms is'slave trade'. An esclava-
giste is a partisan of slavery.

written on the same lines, the title of a book by Hugh Tinker, A New System of
Slavery. The Export of Indian Labour Overseas 1830-1920, Oxford University
Press, 1974.

and South-East Asia, London, 1965; A Guide to Manuscripts and Documents in the
British Isles relating to Africa, London, 1971.

Specal importance should be attached to meetings of experts, symposia and congresses
whose proceedings are unfortunately sometimes published much later, and sometimes, too,
with the discussions omitted. For a methodological study of the slave trade in the Indian
Ocean, a great deal of information will be found in the following:

- I have mentioned only those reference works and publications of a general nature which contain
important information about the slave trade in the Indian Ocean and I have confined the list
of articles and specialized publications, as far as possible, to the most recent ones. Those often
contain summaries or critical analyses of previous studies and lists of source materials and
bibliographies.—H.G.
