Greed, Seeds and Slavery
Eden Project Books (144 pages) 9781905811083
The bi-centenary of the abolition of the slave trade in British legislation in 2007 has been marked with a number of books. This paperback has a dozen narrative stories on a range of people and events with some connection with slavery. Included is the life of a slave, Oludah Equiano, taken from Benin to the West Indies in 1750; Thomas Fellows who was enslaved for 23 years; and, of course, the great orator, William Wilberforce. So in effect these are twelve short stories all relating true tales, brief biographies written in an interesting, easily readable way.
