- Summary:
- The importance of published accounts by African slave ship survivors is well-known but not their existence in large numbers. This volume catalogs nearly 500 discrete accounts and more than 2,500 printings of them over four centuries in numerous Atlantic languages. Short biographies of each African, print histories of the complete or partial life story, URL, and QR code links to the full text, maps, images, and more makes this volume an invaluable resource for scholars, teachers, students, and others wishing to study transatlantic slavery using African voices.
