"Captive Passage"

This important book considers a number of different aspects of the slave trade: its social and economic basis, why many African leaders facilitated the slave trade, and how enslaved African Americans forged their own cutures and forever changed the Americas.  The book includes 8 essays and 160 color illustrations which examine the complex causes, outcomes, and legacies of the 400 year slave trade.  During that period over 10 million Africans were forcibly transported across the Atlantic.
