Title: Captive Passage
Description: "This book considers a number of different aspects of the slave trade: its social and economic basis, why many African leaders facilitated the slave trade, and how enslaved African Americans forged their own cultures and forever changed the Americas. The physical, social, and enduring emotional meaning of the Middle Passage is explored, as are the history and legacy of the abolitionist movement and the struggle for racial justice.".

"The book features material from the collections of the Mariners' Museum and artifacts from around the world brought together specifically for this exhibition. Included are rare engravings, published here for the first time, of slave forts along the west coast of Africa; a sailor's sea chest illustrated with slaving motifs; a Colombian postage stamp honoring Jesuit priest Fray Pedro Claver, known as the "apostle of the Negroes" for his kindness; and period images of the Amistad rebellion."--BOOK JACKET.
