About this listen

Uncover one of the darkest parts of history: The Transatlantic Slave Trade.

The Atlantic Slave Trade is a crucial examination of one of history’s most horridly significant epochs, detailing its impact on the world, particularly in West Africa. You will be taken on an emotional and intellectual voyage, examining the horrifying ocean passages suffered by millions, the sociopolitical tides in West Africa, and the ultimate act of abolition.

  • Echoes from the Hold: Experience the chilling reality of Africans captured and placed into the bowels of slave ships, where they endured unspeakable horrors.
  • Chains of a New World: Witness the transformation of pain into the foundation of an exploitative new economy in the Americas, where every day was a battle for survival.
  • Profit from Pain: Explore how the slave trade sculpted the economic landscapes of African kingdoms and European empires. Discover how the slave trade sowed seeds of injustice that echo into the present.
  • Legacy of Suffering: Delve into the depths of the human spirit confronted by the inhumanity of slavery and the multigenerational trauma that followed.
  • Dawn of Freedom: Stand alongside the titans of abolitionism, whose relentless battle dismantled this institution and rekindled hope for a brighter future.

Transform your understanding of history from a passive recall to an active engagement in shaping a more just future. This is more than just an audiobook; it is a way for you to connect to the past and discover history’s impacts on the present.

Historical misleading book

Despite the book covering a lot of data, it has an awful lot of ascertains and conclusions in it that don’t seem to be based on anything. He keeps telling us that slaves their human rights were violated. Whose human rights were not violated in the 18th century except for a hand full of people. The author is comparing the conditions of alavery compared to modern days standard of living. Further there is a lot of historical inaccuracies in it. He is clearly not an historical scholar. Book is misleading and just jumps on the woke bandwagon.
