The Slavery Experience in the Americas

There's a book i picked up because a brenda stevenson was quoting from it, called pioneers of the black atlantic. What they do show you is where you can't generalize about the slave experience of laves in the americas. You can make a distinction between those who were born in africa as free people and had to make the trip over. And what most of these people will experience between their capturing and the arrival at the coast to get on ships would be the worst experience most of us have ever had.
