Produktbeschreibung
Who was Joseph Laroche, the only black passenger on board the Titanic? Where was he going? How did he end up on the ship? It's a story never before told. The Only Black Man on the Titanic is definitely not "just another book about the Titanic." While the book covers the tragedy, offering a new approach to a story that still fascinates millions, it also presents surprising aspects of American and Caribbean history. Ivorian-French writer Serge Bilé conducted a thorough investigation both in Haiti, the birth country of Laroche, and in France where Laroche was educated and worked as an engineer. This is the story of the man who contributed to the construction of the Parisian railway before embarking on the Titanic with his wife and two daughters, but also the story of a time period, as the author delves into Black history and the relationships that existed between the United States and Haiti.
