Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" by Zora Neale Hurston
4.0
**Please seek out own voices reviews**
This was a book that ended too quickly for me, the stories Cudjo Lewis told were so vivid, Hurston's writing in his dialect was so impactful. I could have listened to more stories about his life and the stories he remembers. I wish it was longer, it felt too short. The explanation of Hurston's work (which in the audio I listened to was at the beginning) was a little bit of a disappointing to start the book and I didn't feel it was necessary. Highly recommend.
