Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" by Zora Neale Hurston

4.0

Ms. Hurston was an anthropologist before she was a novelist, and this is an example of her bringing both skillsets together. Written in the 1930's but published only recently, she tells of interviewing an old man, the last survivor of the slave trade (he was captured and brought to this country decades after slave trade was outlawed). A very human account.
