Barracoon The Story of the Last "Black Cargo"
Zora Neale Hurston's powerful, long-lost account brings to life the story of Cudjo Lewis, one of the last survivors of the transatlantic slave trade. Hurston sat with Lewis in Alabama, recording his firsthand memories of capture in Africa, the brutal Middle Passage, and life in bondage long after the trade was outlawed. This essential work offers an intimate glimpse into a pivotal, tragic chapter of American history through the words of a man who endured it.
