Review Roundup
Saltwater Slavery by Stephanie E. Smallwood offers a harrowing and meticulously researched account of the transatlantic slave trade. Praised for its vivid narrative and thorough scholarship, it provides a fresh perspective on the subject. Some critics, however, find it dense and overly academic. Ideal for historians, it might challenge general readers with its complexity.
Who Should Read Saltwater Slavery?
A reader who would enjoy Saltwater Slavery by Stephanie E. Smallwood is likely interested in early American history, African diaspora studies, and the brutal realities of the transatlantic slave trade. Comparable to audiences of The Slave Ship by Marcus Rediker and American Slavery, American Freedom by Edmund S. Morgan.
