Description

Between about 1500 and 1850, millions of Africans were captured and transported around the Atlantic in one of the vital tragic ordeals in human history. On this objective and profoundly moving book, Haskins and Benson open with discussions of slavery thoughout history and of Europe and Africa on the time the African slave trade started, then closely read about each and every facet of the Middle Passage. Included are sections on capturing the slaves, the march to the coast, the choice of slaves for purchase, prerequisites on slave ships, and slave revolts aboard ship. Illuminated with historic prints, photographs, and Floyd Cooper’s compelling paintings. Timeline, bibliography, map, and index included.
