Public Lecture by Professor Marcus Rediker about "The Floating Dungeon: A History of the Slave Ship".

Rediker, a professor of history at the University of Pittsburgh, will explore the history of British and American slave ships that crossed the Atlantic from 1700 until the abolition of the trade in 1807-1808, treating the slaver as a framework for human - and inhuman -- interaction. Special emphasis is given to the struggles of multi-ethnic enslaved Africans who fiercely and creatively battled terror and death and thereby began to build on the ships what we now call African-American culture.
