“As the text more than adequately proves, much can be gained by including the experiences of colonial Spain within the larger transnational histories of the Atlantic slave trade. . . . This is an important book that will be of value to a variety of scholars and their students. Highly recommended.”—J. Rankin, Choice
“Beyond the implications for understanding Atlantic slavery, From the Galleons to the Highlands sets a model for reevaluating one of the central ‘branches’ of the transatlantic slave trade and establishes a precedent for further investigation of the intra-slave trade among the various other empires that drove this trafficking of humans.”—William A. Morgan, H-LatAm
