Illustrated paperback binding with black and white coloured titles to the front panel and white coloured titles to the back strip. Between the 15th and 19th centuries it is estimated that between 30 to 40 million people died as a result of the slave trade. "Black Cargoes tells the full story of this barbaric trade in people, which brutalised all those involved. In Africa it tore families and tribes apart. Men and women were stripped of their humanity and reduced to mere units of production: captured, packed like merchandise into the holds of unsanitary ships, tossed overboard if they became sick, or sold in West Indian and American markets into perpetual servitude. In America it gave rise to the plantation system, the civil war and a bitter legacy of racism . And in Britain it is also woven into the fabric of our society, helping to finance the Industrial Revolution and enrich cities such as Bristol and Liverpool." Â from rear panel blurb. Creasing to the book corners and a reading crease to the back strip. Rubbing of the book edges and panels and a little chipping to the top left-hand corner of the back strip.
