The Zong Massacre

In 1781, the British slave ship Zong became the site of one of history's most shocking atrocities: over 130 enslaved Africans were thrown overboard to claim an insurance payout. The Zong Massacre delves deep into the harrowing story behind this event, tracing its roots in the Middle Passage, exploring the lives of the captives, and revealing the brutal realities of life aboard a slave ship.

Through meticulous research, Evelyn Hartley examines the legal battles, public outrage, and the pivotal role this massacre played in fueling the abolitionist movement. From the construction of the Zong to the enduring legacy of the victims, this book offers a profound exploration of human suffering, injustice, and the courage of those who fought to remember and resist.

A gripping and necessary work, The Zong Massacre challenges readers to confront the past and reflect on the lessons that resonate across centuries.
