The Two Princes of Calabar

Description

In 1767, two “princes” of a ruling circle of relatives within the port of Old Calabar, at the slave coast of Africa, were ambushed and captured by means of English slavers. The princes were themselves slave traders who were betrayed by means of African competitors–and so started their very own atypical odyssey of enslavement. Their story, written in their very own hand, survives as an extraordinary firsthand account of the Atlantic slave enjoy. Sparks made the outstanding discovery of the princes’ correspondence and has managed to reconstruct their adventures from it.
