Abducted from Africa, sold in America. "A deeply affecting record
of an extraordinary life"- Daily Telegraph A major literary event:
a newly published work from the author of the American classic
Their Eyes Were Watching God, with a foreword from Pulitzer
Prize-winning author Alice Walker. The true story of one of the
last-known survivors of the Atlantic slave trade. In August 1931,
famed anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston travelled to Alabama to
visit ninety-year-old Cudjo Lewis, a former slave. Over three
months, Cudjo shared heart-rending memories of his childhood in
Africa; the horrors of being captured - fifty years after slavery
was outlawed - and held in the Ouidah barracoons for selection by
American slavers; the harrowing ordeal of the Middle Passage aboard
the Clotilda with over one hundred other souls; and the years he
spent in slavery. Barracoon brings to life Cudjo's singular voice
in an invaluable contribution to history and culture, a work as
poignant as it is profound.
