Publisher's Summary

After the Confederacy falls, newly freed slave Rutherford Calhoun is eager to avoid marrying a prim schoolteacher and boards the first ship he finds moored at a New Orleans port. Unbeknownst to Calhoun, the vessel is a slave ship enroute to Africa. On the return trip, Calhoun is put to work as a cabin boy and quickly assists the newly captured slaves in revolting against the drunken crew. This compelling adventure is filled with a perfect blend of colorful narrative, historical romance and suspense.

    "Great book, convencing performance"
    What did you love best about Middle Passage?

    This book is a great combination of intellectual imagination, artistic skill, and fun. The performer was very convincing in a complex and difficult first person novel where much depends on how the narrator is presented.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Middle Passage?

    there are many, but one that stands out is when the protagonist has an encounter with a captive African god.


    What about Dion Graham’s performance did you like?

    Graceful move from profound philosophical ideas to playful sarcasm in African American intellectual vernacular.


    If you could rename Middle Passage, what would you call it?

    The fateful voyage of the Republic


    Any additional comments?

    I would like to hear more books by Charles Johnson. His book "Dreamer" about Martin Luther King Jr. would be a great pick.
