Many of them died on the way, and those who survived had to endure further suffering in the violent conditions that met them onshore. Covering more than three hundred years, \u003cem\u003eHumans in Shackles\u003c\/em\u003e grapples with this history by foregrounding the lived experience of enslaved people in tracing the long, complex history of slavery in the Americas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on twenty years of research, this book not only serves as a comprehensive history; it also expands that history by providing a truly transnational account that emphasizes the central role of Brazil in the Atlantic slave trade. Additionally, it is deeply informed by African history and shows how African practices and traditions survived and persisted in the Americas among communities of enslaved people. Drawing on primary sources including travel accounts, pamphlets, newspaper articles, slave narratives, and visual sources such as artworks and artefacts, Araujo illuminates the social, cultural, and religious lives of enslaved people working in plantations and urban areas, building families and cultivating affective ties, congregating and re-creating their cultures, and organizing rebellions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHumans in Shackles\u003c\/em\u003e puts the lived experiences of enslaved peoples at the centre of the story and investigates the heavy impact these atrocities have had on the current wealth disparity of the Americas and rampant anti-Black racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000642519276,"sku":"9780226771588","price":75.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19944163482268.jpg?v=1763292854"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/ana-lucia-araujo.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
