The Black Joke : the true story of one British ship's battle against the
slave
trade
/A. E. Rooks.
"Sailing after the spectacular fall of Napoleon in France, yet before the rise of Queen Victoria's England, the Black Joke was first used as a slaving vessel, and one with a lightning-fast reputation; only a lucky capture in 1827 allowed itto be repurposed by the Royal Navy to catch its former compatriots. Over the next five years, the Black Joke liberated more enslaved people than any other in Britain's West Africa Squadron. As Britain slowly attempted to snuff out the transatlantic slave trade by way of treaty and negotiation, enforcing these policies fell ships such as the Black Joke as they battled slavers, weather disasters, and interpersonal drama among captains and crew that reverberated across oceans. The Black Joke is a crucial and deeply compelling work of history, both as a reckoning with slavery and abolition and a lesson about the power of political will - or the lack thereof."--Provided by the publisher.

Abson & Company :
slave
traders in eighteenth-century West Africa /Stanley B. Alpern.
"Yorkshireman Lionel Abson was the longest surviving European stationed in West Africa in the eighteenth century. He reached William's Fort at Ouidah on the Slave Coast as a trader in 1767, took over the English fort in 1770, and remained in charge until his death in 1803. He avoided the 'white man's grave' for thirty-six years. Along the way he had three sons with an African woman, the eldest partly schooled in England, and a bright daughter named Sally. When Abson died, royal lackeys kidnapped his children. Sally was placed in the king's harem and pined away; her brothers vanished. That king became so unpopular as a result that the people of Dahomey disowned him. Abson also mastered the local language and became an historian. After only two years as fort chief, he was part of the king's delegation to make peace with an enemy, a unique event in centuries of Dahomean history. This singular book recounts the remarkable life of this key figure in an ignominious period of European and African history, offering a microcosm of the lives of Europeans in eighteenth-century West Africa, and their relationships with and attitudes towards those they met there."--Provided by the publisher.
