The Door of No Return, The History of Cape Coast Castle and the Atlantic Slave Trade

by William St. Clair

  • HISTORY
  • 2008
  • PAPER
  • 288 PAGES

St. Clair draws on correspondence, government records, artifacts and ship logs for this absorbing history of the British headquarters for the slave trade on Ghana's Gold coast, today a UNESCO World Heritage site. Although focused on Ghana, this is an essential history of the transatlantic slave trade.  (WAF116, $15.95)
