In "Barracoon," Zora Neale Hurston presents a never-before-published account of Cudjo Lewis, one of the last known survivors of the Atlantic slave trade. Her compelling interviews in 1927 and 1931 capture Cudjo's harrowing journey from Africa to slavery in America, detailing his childhood and the brutal experiences he endured aboard the last "Black Cargo" ship, the Clotilda. Through Cudjo's poignant vernacular and Hurston's compassionate storytelling, this significant work sheds light on the enduring legacy of slavery and its profound impact on American history and culture.
