Abstract
Marcus Rediker, in The Slave Ship: A Human History, focuses less on the technical elements of the Triangle Trade and more fully on the relationships onboard slave ships—the formation and deformation of identity. The success of a voyage depended on the captain and crew, who could not have “‘dainty fingers nor dainty noses,’” because “theirs was a filthy business in almost every conceivable sense.”1 The captain, who had to control both his crew and slaves, oversaw the relationship between the sailors and slaves, which included intense brutality, which, for women, involved beating and rape.KeywordsBlack WomanAmerican HistorySlave SystemBlack FolkNarrative VoiceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
