Description
A sweeping narrative history of the Atlantic slave trade and slavery in the Americas spans over three hundred years. Ana Lucia Araujo's book, Humans in Shackles, explores the lived experience of enslaved people, tracing the complex history of slavery in the Americas and foregrounding the role of Brazil in the Atlantic slave trade. Through twenty years of research, Araujo draws on a range of primary sources, including travel accounts, pamphlets, newspaper articles, slave narratives, and visual sources, to illuminate the social, cultural, and religious lives of enslaved people in plantations and urban areas. The book sheds light on the ways in which enslaved people built families, cultivated affective ties, congregated and re-created their cultures, and organized rebellions. By putting the lived experiences of enslaved peoples at the center of the story, Humans in Shackles investigates the heavy impact of these atrocities on the current wealth disparity of the Americas and rampant anti-Black racism.
