Anne C. Bailey’s African Voices of the Atlantic Slave Trade: Beyond the Silence and the Shame is a groundbreaking exploration of the transatlantic slave trade from the often-overlooked perspective of Africans. Drawing on oral histories, archival research, and firsthand accounts, Bailey investigates the roles played by African communities in the slave trade, both as victims and, in some cases, as participants. Centered on the Ewe people of Ghana and Togo, the book presents a nuanced narrative that highlights the complexity of historical memory, the legacy of the slave trade, and the interwoven fates of Africa and its diaspora.
