Saltwater Slavery
This bold, innovative book promises to radically alter our understanding of the Atlantic slave trade, and the depths of its horrors. Smallwood offers a penetrating look at the process of enslavement from its African origins through the Middle Passage and into the American slave market.Smallwood's story is animated by deep research and gives us a startlingly graphic experience of the slave trade from the vantage point of the slaves themselves. Stephanie E.
She begins her narrative on the shores of seventeenth-century Africa, tracing how the trade in human bodies came to define the life of the Gold Coast. Ultimately, Saltwater Slavery details how African people were transformed into Atlantic commodities in the process. Smallwood takes us into the ports and stone fortresses where African captives were held and prepared, and then through the Middle Passage itself. In
