The second book I took out was Unheard Voices, a collection of stories and poems about slavery, to mark the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. Some of the stories were passages from books written by freed slaves, others by the descendants of slaves. The book is split into about 5 parts, each part dealing with one aspect of the slave trade.
Some of the writing was amongst the most vivid and moving that I have ever read about the slave trade. Highly recommended.
