The Last Slave Ship: The True Story of How Clotilda Was Found, Her Descendants, and an Extraordinary Reckoning

byBen Raines

Focused on the True Story of How Clotilda Was Found, Her Descendants, and an Extraordinary Reckoning, The Last Slave Ship brings Ben Raines's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of history. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
