Great way for a canadian to learn black history

It is a wonderous and well put together book to educate a person on the history of the transatlantic slave trade. Being a Canadian, I was unaware of the length of time that the trade took place. I read the book and passed it on, it is not a book to have gathering dust but to be read by many

Excellent. A highly readable & well illustrated book.

Burnside provides an excellent overview of slavery, in a highly readable and well illustrated book. Although a scholar, Burnside has written this book for a popular audience. A great read and interesting take on a very difficult subject.
