Barracoon: The Story of the Last “Black Cargo” by Zora Neale Hurston tells the tragic story of the last survivor of the slave trade transported from Africa to America. This important book offers insight into the pernicious legacy of slavery in the U.S. and an invaluable contribution to the history and culture of this country. The book wasn’t published for decades until scholar and writer Deborah G. Plant edited Zora Neale Hurston’s work. Deborah G. Plant is an African American literature and Africana Studies scholar and literary critic whose special interest is the life and works of Zora Neale Hurston.
