Counterpunch featured The American Slave Coast in a round-up of the "Top 10 Books of 2015." They say, "This sprawling and unsparing history of the American slave-breeding industry may be the most important book of the last decade."
The New York Journal of Booksreviewed The American Slave Coast, saying "Even to the serious scholar of the subject, The American Slave Coast can open new ideas on unfamiliar ground in the general subject of human bondage."
Ned and Constance Sublette, authors of The American Slave Coast, were interviewed by The Times-Picayunecolumnist Jarvis DeBerry. His column and video interview are both available online.
In The Guardian's book round-up of "The books that prove black lives have always mattered in America," the writer says The American Slave Coast "offers an economic history and theory of slavery that is blunt in its assessment, unassailable in its argument and accessible to a general reader."
