Jane Webster develops a pioneering approach to 'rebuilding' British slaving vessels, creating a new archaeology of the Middle Passage. The book also examines multiple sources and accounts, questioning why the African Middle Passage experience remains elusive, even after decades of scholarship dedicated to uncovering it.
