Download The Voyage of the Slave Ship Hare: A Journey into Captivity from Sierra Leone to South Carolina AudioBook Free
From 1754 to 1755, the slave ship Hare completed a trip from Newport, Rhode Island, to Sierra Leone and back to america - a trip that transformed more than 70 Africans into commodities, condemning some to death and the others to a life of bondage in THE UNITED STATES. In this engaging narrative, Sean Kelley painstakingly reconstructs this tumultuous voyage, describing everything from the identities of the captain and staff to their untamed encounters with bad weather, slave traders, and near-mutiny. But most of all, Kelley monitors the cohort of slaves aboard the Hare using their purchase in Africa to their sale in South Carolina. In tracing their complete trip, Kelley provides rare insight into the communal lives of slaves and sheds new light on the African diaspora and its own influence on the forming of BLACK culture. In this immersive exploration, Kelley links the storyplot of enslaved people in america to their roots in Africa as never before. Told uniquely from the perspective of 1 particular voyage, this publication brings a slave ship's trip to life, giving us one of the clearest views of the 18th-century slave trade.
