Descrizione Slave Ship Sailors and Their Captive Cargoes, 1730-1807
An examination of the working lives of the approximately 350,000 men who labored aboard British and North American slave ships. Marrying slave trade studies to maritime history, it questions how sailors work in this most abhorrent of trades fits with their posited image as a radical, egalitarian group. It explores their relationships with African men and women of varying status, in the port cities of Britain, West Africa, the Caribbean and the American South, and especially their interactions with, and attitudes towards those they carried as their shackled cargo.
