A Slave Economy in the East Indies : Seaborne Transportation of Slaves to the Banda Islands

• The chapter investigates the plantation system in the Banda Islands, Indonesia, which were specialized in the production of nutmeg and mace, and more specifically the enslaved population used by the Dutch colonizers after the genocide of 1621. By using archival sources in new ways, the profile of the enslaved population in the early-modern era is illuminated in terms of gender, age, ethnicity, and acquisition.
