COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Historical submitted by smariej on August 7, 2012, 5:30pm As an American, I never knew a lot about the slave trade/slavery in Britain. This gives a very good look at what it was like for first generation slaves, as well as a look into how Britain ended up abolishing the trade before America. The ending was sad and frustrating, but it was probably the most common sense.

Slavery submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on July 28, 2013, 10:08pm "A Respectable Trade" is intentionally ironically named as it is about the British slave trade. The book is, rightfully, very disturbing as it depicts how horrible and violent slavery is. Indeed, it is so explicitly violent I could not finish reading it.
