This is a book to read if you want to study 17th century attitudes on colonialism and slavery. Interesting for sure, but not entertaining.
Graphic: Death, Racism, Slavery, Violence, Colonisation, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Gore, Trafficking, Murder, Pregnancy, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Rape, Sexual assault, and Suicidal thoughts
