Críticas
“That Zora Neale Hurston should find and befriend Cudjo Lewis, the last living man with firsthand memory of capture in Africa and captivity in Alabama, is nothing shy of a miracle. Barracoon is a testament to the enormous losses millions of men, women and children endured in both slavery and freedom―a story of urgent relevance to every American, everywhere.”
Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Life on Mars and Wade in the Water
“Zora Neale Hurston’s genius has once again produced a Maestrapiece.”
Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Color Purple
“Barracoon is a powerful, breathtakingly beautiful, and at times, heart wrenching, account of one man’s story, eloquently told in his own language. Zora Neale Hurston gives Kossola control of his narrative― a gift of freedom and humanity. It completely reinforces for me the fact that Zora Neale Hurston was both a cultural anthropologist and a truly gifted, and compassionate storyteller, who sat in the sometimes painful silence with Kossola and the depth and breadth of memory as a slave. Such is a narrative filled with emotions and histories bursting at the intricately woven seams.”
Nicole Dennis-Benn, author of Here Comes the Sun
“A searing reminder of how recently American slavery ended, and the depth of the pain it caused”
The Economist
“A deeply affecting record of an extraordinary life.”
Daily Telegraph
“Barracoon and its long path to print is a testament to Zora’s singular vision amid so many competing pressures that continue to put us at war with ourselves.”

Abducted from Africa, sold in America.
“A deeply affecting record of an extraordinary life”- Daily Telegraph
A major literary event: a newly published work from the author of the American classic Their Eyes Were Watching God, with a foreword from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker.
The true story of one of the last-known survivors of the Atlantic slave trade.
In August 1931, famed anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston travelled to Alabama to visit ninety-year-old Cudjo Lewis, a former slave.
Over three months, Cudjo shared heart-rending memories of his childhood in Africa; the horrors of being captured – fifty years after slavery was outlawed – and held in the Ouidah barracoons for selection by American slavers; the harrowing ordeal of the Middle Passage aboard the Clotilda with over one hundred other souls; and the years he spent in slavery.
Barracoon brings to life Cudjo’s singular voice in an invaluable contribution to history and culture, a work as poignant as it is profound.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Die Publikationssensation: Die bisher unveröffentlichte Lebensgeschichte des letzten amerikanischen Sklaven'Barracoon' ist der einmalige Zeitzeugenbericht des letzten Überlebenden des Sklavenhandels, der 2018 in den USA erstveröffentlicht wurde und dort wegen seiner berührenden, ungeschminkten Erzählung und authentischen Sprache Aufsehen erregte und zum Bestseller wurde. 'Barracoon' erzählt die wahre Geschichte von Oluale Kossola, auch Cudjo Lewis genannt, der 1860 auf dem letzten Sklavenschiff nach Nordamerika verschleppt wurde. Die große afroamerikanische Autorin Zora Neale Hurston befragte 1927 den damals 86-Jährigen über sein Leben: seine Jugend im heutigen Benin, die Gefangennahme und Unterbringung in den sogenannten 'Barracoons', den Baracken, in die zu verkaufende Sklaven eingesperrt wurden, über seine Zeit als Sklave in Alabama, seine Freilassung und seine anschließende Suche nach den eigenen Wurzeln und einer Identität in den rassistisch geprägten USA.
