Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. In 1860, a ship called the Clotilda was smuggled along the Alabama Gulf Coast, carrying the last group of enslaved people ever brought to the U.S. from West Africa. Five years later, the shipmates were emancipated, but they had no way of getting back home. Instead, they created their own community outside the city of Mobile, where they spoke Yoruba and appointed their own leaders, a story chronicled in Zora Neale Hurston's Barracoon. That community, Africatown, has endured to the present day, and many of the residents are the shipmates' direct descendants. After many decades of neglect, and a Jim Crow legal system that targeted the area for industrialization, the community is struggling to survive. Many members believe the pollution from the heavy industry surrounding their homes has caused a cancer epidemic, as companies have continued to eye even more land for development. At the same time, with the identification of the Clotilda's remains in the delta nearby, a renewed effort is under way to create a living memorial to the community, acknowledging the strength of its heritage -- and the lives of the former slaves who founded it.
