""A beautiful, clearly written, and much-needed monograph on the harrowing life of Baquaqua . . . Paul Lovejoy is the greatest specialist on the subject and the best author for this book.""--Ana Lucia Araujo, author of The Gift: How Objects of Prestige Shaped the Atlantic Slave Trade and Colonialism ""A true feat of research, this book goes beyond biography; rather, it uses Baquaqua's story as a vehicle to explore the nineteenth-century Black Atlantic. Lovejoy and Bezerra dispel prevailing misconceptions about Baquaqua's life and unearth a wealth of new detail.""--Sean M. Kelley, author of The Voyage of the Slave Ship Hare: A Journey into Captivity from Sierra Leone to South Carolina
