Starta erbjudandetMost times left solely within the confine of plantation narratives, slavery was far from a land-based phenomenon. This book reveals for the first time how it took critical shape at sea. Expanding the gaze even more widely, the book centers on how the oceanic transport of human cargoes-known as the infamous Middle Passage-comprised a violently regulated process foundational to the institution of bondage.
Sowande' Mustakeem's groundbreaking study goes inside the Atlantic slave trade to explore the social conditions and human costs embedded in the world of maritime slavery. Mining ship logs, records, and personal documents, Mustakeem teases out the social histories produced between those on traveling ships: slaves, captains, sailors, and surgeons. As she shows, crewmen manufactured captives through enforced dependency, relentless cycles of physical, psychological terror, and pain that led to the making-and unmaking-of enslaved Africans held and transported onboard slave ships. Mustakeem relates how this process, and related power struggles, played out not just for adult men, but also for women, children, teens, infants, nursing mothers, the elderly, diseased, ailing, and dying.

Very informational and well written. You must learn the truth even when it comes to the awful ones, nothing has ever went away by pretending it is not there. If you are considering to read it please do and share it with others too, it needs to be read and known by more people, most people who are considerd do be educated know that 8 million people were shipped from the central part of afrika and that 1 million indiviual died, maybe they know the were cramped together and a few other facts but thats it, 8 million people are a bloody lot and same goes for the death rate at a million, why dont people know more? Ofcourse because there is not much information out there but if you are looking for it here it is. There is no shame in learning most of what was written in this book I didn't know, this is a perfect opurtunity to learn about the inividuals lost and those who suffered to honor their memory and prevent similar things from once again happening.
