I almost reads like a children's boo; but is so informative that it doesn't insult an adult mind. I heartily recommend it for anyone trying to learn about the effects of African slavery; particularly as it pertains to so-called African-Americans.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their knowledge ...By Amanda Marie MorganThis book was very straightforward in its language and the storytelling. S.E. Anderson did not sugarcoat his thoughts or his words. I learned a lot from this book; things that should be required to be taught in schools. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their knowledge on the history of the enslavement of Africa and Her peoples.
