Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of the 18th-century transatlantic slave trade, offering a stark and unflinching look at the realities of this inhumane system. The author meticulously compiles firsthand accounts from individuals involved in various aspects of the trade, from sailors and traders to enslaved people themselves. The book exposes the brutal methods used to acquire enslaved individuals in Africa, including warfare, kidnapping, and false accusations of crimes. It further details the horrific conditions endured during the Middle Passage and the harsh realities of life on plantations in the West Indies. Set against the backdrop of rising abolitionist sentiment in Great Britain, the book provides a powerful indictment of the slave trade, challenging the claims of pro-slavery advocates who sought to downplay its cruelty. The author's meticulous research and use of primary sources paint a vivid picture of the human cost of this trade, giving voice to those who suffered under its oppressive weight. Themes of power, exploitation, and resistance are interwoven throughout the narrative, raising profound questions about human rights and the legacy of slavery. By shedding light on the lived experiences of enslaved people and those who participated in the trade, this book offers a compelling and thought-provoking contribution to the ongoing dialogue about race, justice, and the enduring impact of historical injustices.
