Description: The Slave Ship Clotilda and the Making of AfricaTown, USA by Natalie S. Robertson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Shows how African captives endured capture, imprisonment, the middle passage, and slavery in America only to persevere and found a free and vibrant community in America. Publisher Description Debates on reparations for slavery have emerged on national and international levels. However, much of the discourse centers on the legitimate slave trade. Few people are cognizant of the fact that the transatlantic slave trade consisted of both a legal trade and an illegal trade that began after January 1, 1808. Despite statutory prohibitions against slave smuggling, American citizens continued to smuggle African captives into the United States up to and beyond the threshold of the Civil War. The Slave Ship Clotilda and the Making of AfricaTown, USA is the only well-documented work of serious nonfiction that chronicles the transatlantic smuggling expedition of the slaver Clotilda during the slave trades illegal period, dramatizing the plight of her captives from the point of capture in the West African interior to the point of disembarkation in Mobile, Alabama in 1860, and tracing the specific means by which the captives triumphed over their tragedy.Thirty members of that fateful cargo established AfricaTown in Alabama, where many of their descendants still live. In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston interviewed Cudjo Kazoola, the last survivor of the Clotilda. In The Slave Ship Clotilda and the Making of AfricaTown, USA Natalie S. Robertson uses ethnography, cartography, linguistics, and oral history to connect the story of the Clotilda captives to their origins in Africa, through their ordeals on the middle passage, all the way to the issue of reparations in the present day. She incorporates indigenous African perspectives, Hurstons interviews, and sources such as the Clotildas log, meshing diverse voices into a narrative that reveals the centrality of slavery, Africanisms, and resistance in American culture even today. Author Biography Natalie S. Robertson teaches at Hampton University and is the editor of African American History in Transatlantic Perspective (2002) and The Ancient and Global Dimensions of Black History (2000).
