Marcus Rediker f THE SLAVE SHIP A Human History Focusing on the 18th-century American and British slave trade, Rediker explores how the ships, their crews, and their human cargo connected and transformed societies on both sides of the hor- rendous voyage. He draws on thirty years of research in maritime archives, court records, diaries, and firsthand accounts, to reconstruct the “floating dungeons” at the forefront of the birth of African American culture. “The Slave Ship is the best of histories, deeply researched, brilliantly formulated, and morally informed.”—Ira Berlin, University of Maryland. “I was hardly prepared for the profound emotional impact of The Slave Ship: A Human History. Reading it established a transformative and never to be severed bond with my African ancestors.”—Alice Walker. 16 pp. b/w photos, 8 maps.

Ruth First f 117 Days An Account of Confinement and Interrogation Under the South African 90-Day Detention Law Introduction by Angela Y.

Upon her arrest in 1963, she was detained in sol- itary confinement, under South Africa’s ninety-day detention law. Thus began a war of nerves between First and her Special Branch captors. “[Ruth First’s] life, and her death, remains a beacon to all who love liberty.”—Nelson Mandela.
