"From the writers behind the acclaimed documentary series Enslaved, comes a rich and timely narrative of the true global and human scope of the transatlantic slave trade. The trade existed for four-hundred years, during which twelve million people were trafficked, and almost two million died at sea. By hunting down wrecks and their backstories, Jacobovici and Kingsley's research puts the archaeology and history of sunken slave ships lost between 1670 and 1858 in vivid context. From the ports of Gold Coast Africa to the hubs of trading companies in England, Portugal, and the Netherlands, to the final destinations in the New World, Jacobovici and Kingsley show how the slave trade touched every nation and every society on Earth. Though global in scope, the book makes the past personal through the divers' sadness, anger, reverence, and awe as they hold in their hands tangible pieces of their ancestors' world."--From publisher.
