Recaptured Africans: Surviving Slave Ships, Detention, and Dislocation in the Final Years of the Slave Trade

bySharla Fett

Recaptured Africans is Sharla Fett's historical account of surviving Slave Ships, Detention, and Dislocation in the Final Years of the Slave Trade. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of history. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Recaptured Africans leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
