{"product_id":"the-transatlantic-slave-trade-eva-myers-9798196216459","title":"The Transatlantic Slave Trade: How Millions Were Enslaved, Transported, and Forced to Build the Atlantic World","description":"They were stolen from ordinary days. Walking home. Working in the fields. Feeding their children.\u003cbr\u003eAnd then they were gone.\u003cbr\u003eWhat happened to the estimated fifteen million African people swept into the transatlantic slave trade is not simply a chapter of history. It is the story of how the modern world was built, who built it, and what it truly cost. Few people know the full scope of what unfolded across those four hundred years of calculated terror, and fewer still have been told the complete truth about who these people were before the ships came for them.\u003cbr\u003eThe Transatlantic Slave Trade: How Millions Were Enslaved, Transported, and Forced to Build the Atlantic World takes you inside the full arc of this history with unflinching honesty and deeply human storytelling.\u003cbr\u003eYou will walk through the thriving African civilizations that existed long before European contact. You will witness the organized raids, the brutal marches, the airless castle dungeons at the edge of the continent, and the eight weeks of horror that defined the Middle Passage crossing. You will meet the men and women who refused to surrender, who organized revolts on the open ocean, who chose death over bondage, and who carried their culture, their language, and their dignity across an ocean that was designed to swallow all three.\u003cbr\u003eWhat you are about to discover will permanently change how you see the foundations of the modern world.\u003cbr\u003eThis book reveals the real economics behind the slave trade, the corporations and financial institutions that profited from human suffering, and the agricultural knowledge that enslaved Africans brought with them that made the plantation economy possible. It traces the illegal trade that continued decades after abolition, follows the Amistad rebellion from a single nail to the Supreme Court, and confronts the legacy that no Atlantic society has yet fully reckoned with.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is for anyone who believes that history should be told honestly, completely, and with the full humanity of every person at its center.\u003cbr\u003eThe walk that millions of people never finished deserves to be understood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eva Myers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798196216459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Eva Myers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801500922111,"sku":"9798196216459","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-transatlantic-slave-trade-eva-myers-9798196216459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
