Description

Explore a unique chapter of the Atlantic slave trade with Memories of Madagascar and Slavery in the Black Atlantic. From the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, thousands of people from Madagascar were brought to American ports. In this scholarly work, Wendy Wilson-Fall examines how the descendants of Malagasy slaves in the United States maintained a distinct ethnic identity, setting them apart from populations from other common slave trade regions. This book addresses a significant gap in historical records. While many African Americans hold strong identities as Malagasy descendants, the specific histories of these slaves, sailors, and their families have often been overlooked. This text provides essential research for those interested in international studies, global history, and the sociological aspects of identity within the Black Atlantic. It offers a detailed look at how heritage survives through generations despite the historical forces of the slave trade.
