About the book
Marcus Rediker reconstructs the history of the slave ship Faith through a microhistorical approach, using court records and historical documents to reveal the global networks of the transatlantic slave trade and the inescapable horror experienced by enslaved Africans. The book is not just about a ship, but about the structures of power, exploitation and resistance that sustained the slave trade.
With historiographical rigor and empathy for human suffering, Rediker unearths stories of individuals often erased by official archives.
