I ribelli dell'Atlantico: la storia perduta di… por Peter Linebaugh
Un libro da leggere da chi, per qual si voglia motivo, voglia comprendere come è nato il mondo moderno. Spesso la fiumana del progresso ha travolto affascinanti culture libertarie e solidali.
Rediker employed numerous resources to write this work that helps the reader understand the slave trade from start to end. Who contracted to build and ready a ship to be a floating prison. How found and who were the people who crewed these death ships? Who captained them? How were they paid? Where and how did they get the slaves? How was this human cargo maintained on the"middle passage"? How many made it to land, slaves and sailors, and in what condition? What happened to those who made land? Who fought to keep the slave ships, and who fought to outlaw them? This author answers all these questions with an objectively drawn account.… (más)
Lay was born in 1682 in Essex, England. His philosophies, employments, and places of residence—spanning England, Barbados, Philadelphia, and the open seas—were markedly diverse over the course of his life. He worked as a shepherd, glove maker, sailor, and bookseller. His worldview was an astonishing combination of Quakerism, vegetarianism, animal rights, opposition to the death penalty, and abolitionism. (Amazon.com)
Not a cohesive continuous story, but hundreds of unrelated short descriptions of the lives of sailors, slaves, merchants, captains, and the ships involved in the slave trade. Well researched, but one quickly gets the idea from the multiple examples that this was a shameful era. While clearly there was a common theme throughout the book, not having a common character or continuous story line failed to hold my interest.
