Abstract	EnglishThis essay will review two recent books on the transatlantic slave trade, which privilege the Southern Atlantic dynamics of this trade. Centred on the common contributions of both works, this article will address two main issues: firstly, it will reflect upon the southern directions that the study of transatlantic slave trade is experiencing, focusing on the importance of ‘trans-regional’ and ‘trans-national’ approaches, and on the importance of African agency; secondly, it will address the operational capacities of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database to the field, thoroughly used in both volumes, which will serve as an excuse to briefly reflect upon the importance of Digital Humanities as a whole. portuguesEsta reflexao historiografica recenseara dois livros recentes sobre o trafico de escravos transatlântico que privilegiam o Atlântico sul. Focado principalmente nos elementos que os dois livros tem em comum, o artigo tratara de dois temas: em primeiro lugar, reflectira sobre a atencao que o Atlântico sul tem recebido pela parte dos estudos sobre o trafico de escravos transatlântico, focando-se na importância das abordagens ‘trans-regionais’ e ‘trans-nacionais’ e na importância da agencia africana; em segundo lugar, tratara das capacidades operacionais que a Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, abundantemente utilizada em ambos os volumes, tem trazido a este campo de estudos, o que servira de pretexto, por sua vez, para pensar brevemente sobre a importância das Humanidades Digitais.
