Like their adult companions, all were captured in Africa and illegally sold as slaves. In this fascinating revisionist history, Benjamin N. Lawrance reconstructs six entwined stories and brings them to the forefront of the\u003ci\u003e Amistad \u003c\/i\u003econflict. Through eyewitness testimonies, court records, and the children's own letters, Lawrance recounts how their lives were inextricably interwoven by the historic drama, and casts new light on illegal nineteenth-century transatlantic slave smuggling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Nicholas Lawrance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300198450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300198454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2015","brand":"Benjamin Nicholas Lawrance","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013722648831,"sku":"9780300198454","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da2c72ad-51ed-43be-8738-84865a962b70.jpg?v=1767744362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/amistads-orphans-benjamin-nicholas-lawrance-9780300198454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
