Summary:

"From the writers behind the acclaimed documentary series Enslaved (starring Samuel L. Jackson), comes a rich and timely narrative of the true global and human scope of the transatlantic slave trade. The trade existed for four-hundred years, during which twelve million people were trafficked, and almost two million died at sea. Throughout this journey we meet the remarkable group, Diving With A Purpose (DWP), as they dive sunken slave ships around the world. They search for remains testifying to the millions of Africans trafficked to Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean. From manilla bracelets to elephant tusks, these wrecks bring the stories of lost lives back from the deep. By hunting down wrecks and their backstories, Jacobovici and Kingsley's research puts the archeology and history of sunken slave ships lost between 1670 and 1858 in vivid context. From the ports of Gold Coast Africa to the hubs of trading companies in England, Portugal, and the Netherlands, to the final destinations in the New World, Jacobovici and Kingsley show how the slave trade touched every nation and every society on Earth. Though global in scope, Enslaved makes the past personal through the divers' sadness, anger, reverence, and awe as they hold in their hands tangible pieces of their ancestors' world. This book ensures that centuries of slave trading will always be remembered. Enslaved is the first book to tell the story of the transatlantic slave trade from the bottom of the sea."--page 2 of cover.
