Further adding to the originality of Slavery at Sea is the soundtrack which accompanies the text, ‘a first of a kind scholarly musical project’ which facilitates an even deeper emotional connection to the terror of the Middle Passage.Įxpertly diverging from previous slave trade studies which have favoured a ‘number-centred methodology’, such as Philip D.
