{"product_id":"hurston-neale-zora-barracoon-9780008368036","title":"Barracoon","description":"Abducted from Africa, sold in America. \"A deeply affecting record of an extraordinary life\"- Daily Telegraph A major literary event: a newly published work from the author of the American classic Their Eyes Were Watching God, with a foreword from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker. The true story of one of the last-known survivors of the Atlantic slave trade. In August 1931, famed anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston travelled to Alabama to visit ninety-year-old Cudjo Lewis, a former slave. Over three months, Cudjo shared heart-rending memories of his childhood in Africa; the horrors of being captured - fifty years after slavery was outlawed - and held in the Ouidah barracoons for selection by American slavers; the harrowing ordeal of the Middle Passage aboard the Clotilda with over one hundred other souls; and the years he spent in slavery. Barracoon brings to life Cudjo's singular voice in an invaluable contribution to history and culture, a work as poignant as it is profound.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53733919555926,"sku":"9780008368036-V","price":8.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780008368036_1.jpg?v=1779106744","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/hurston-neale-zora-barracoon-9780008368036","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
