黑色笑话：一艘英国船只与奴隶贸易作斗争的真实故事，未删节[有声读物]

《黑人笑话》是英国皇家海军反奴隶制中队最著名的成员，也是结束跨大西洋奴隶贸易的长期斗争的开创性历史。最初它本身就是一艘奴隶船，1827年被英国皇家海军抓获，并被重新用于抓捕前同胞。在接下来的五年里，这艘船解放了比英国西非中队任何其他船只都多的奴隶。当英国试图通过条约和谈判的方式扼杀跨大西洋奴隶贸易时，执行这些政策的责任落在了像《黑色笑话》这样的船只身上，因为它们与奴隶主、天气灾难以及船长和船员之间的人际关系戏剧作斗争，这些戏剧在大洋彼岸回荡。《黑色笑话》是一部至关重要且极具说服力的历史著作，既是对奴隶制和废奴制度的清算，也是对政治意愿的力量——或缺乏政治意愿的教训。
The Black Joke: The True Story of One British Ship’s Battle Against the Slave Trade, Unabridged [Audiobook]
A ground-breaking history of the Black Joke, the most famous member of the British Royal Navy’s anti-slavery squadron, and the long fight to end the transatlantic slave trade. Initially a slaving vessel itself, the Black Joke was captured in 1827 and repurposed by the Royal Navy to catch its former compatriots. Over the next five years, the vessel liberated more enslaved people than any other in Britain’s West Africa Squadron. As Britain attempted to snuff out the transatlantic slave trade by way of treaty and negotiation, enforcing these policies fell to ships such as the Black Joke as they battled slavers, weather disasters and interpersonal drama among captains and crew that reverberated across oceans. The Black Joke is a crucial and deeply compelling work of history, both as a reckoning with slavery and abolition and as a lesson about the power of political will – or the lack thereof.
