A stunning behind-the-curtain look into the last years of the illegal transatlantic slave trade in the United States. 

From 1754 to 1755, the slave ship Hare completed a journey from Newport, Rhode Island, to Sierra Leone and back to the United States - a journey that transformed more than 70 Africans into commodities, condemning some to death and the rest to a life of bondage in North America. In this engaging narrative, Sean Kelley painstakingly reconstructs this tumultuous voyage, detailing everything from the identities of the captain and crew to their wild encounters with inclement weather, slave traders, and near-mutiny.

Harriet Ann Jacob's autobiography documents her life as a slave and how she attained freedom for herself and her children. Harrowing in its descriptions of sexual abuse, Jacob's slave narrative is notable for the appeal it made to abolitionist women to open their eyes to the realities of slavery. Deemed too shocking for reading audiences at the time, the book was shelved before it was published in 1861 near the start of the Civil War.

A century before Britain became involved in this terrible business, whole villages and towns in European countries were being depopulated by slavers, who transported the men, women, and children to Africa, where they were sold. This is the forgotten slave trade, one which saw over a million Christians forced into captivity in the Muslim world. Starting in the ancient world, Simon Webb traces the history of slavery in Europe, showing that the numbers involved were vast and that the victims were often treated far more cruelly than black slaves in America and the Caribbean.

Over more than two centuries men, women, and children escaped from slavery to make the Southern wilderness their home. They hid in the mountains of Virginia and the low swamps of South Carolina; they stayed in the neighborhood or paddled to secluded places; they buried themselves underground or built settlements. Known as maroons, they lived on their own or set up communities in swamps or other areas where they were not likely to be discovered. Although well-known, feared, celebrated or demonized at the time, the maroons whose stories are the subject of this book have been forgotten.

There are voices in Jason Hutchinson's Head... ...and sometimes they get out! For over a decade, Jason Hutchinson has been writing and publishing exciting stories that can just as easily lead readers down to the local college campus as they can lead to a serendipitous audience with a surprisingly frisky and eager Greek Goddess like Artemis. Just Dave popped out to grace the erotica world in 2016 with his tongue-in-cheek romps, a series of wide-ranging and self contained stories exploring concepts from futanari to alien abductions. He made a splash, though, with his series Welcome to Hell, ...

History remembers its monuments. It carves the names of slavery abolitionists into stone, raises statues to parliamentarians, and keeps alive the speeches that moved legislatures to act. What it tends to forget — or never properly records — are the men who made abolition real, in the dark and the heat, far from applause. The West Africa Squadron patrolled the Atlantic for more than six decades, from 1808 to 1870. At its height it comprised a fifth of the entire Royal Navy. It lost more men to disease than to enemy fire, its crews ravaged by yellow fever on a coast that sailors called ...

In this novel, the story of the life of Simón Romero, better known as Ali the Canary, one of the most important corsairs of the 17th century who sailed the Mediterranean and Atlantic to the coasts of Portugal, is recounted.

On November 29, 1781, Captain Collingwood of the British ship Zong commanded his crew to throw overboard one-third of his cargo: a shipment of Africans bound for slavery in America. The captain believed his ship was off course, and he feared there was not enough drinking water to last until landfall. This book is the first to examine in detail the deplorable killings on the Zong, the lawsuit that ensued, how the murder of 132 slaves affected debates about slavery, and the way we remember the infamous Zong today.
