520    "In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston went to Plateau, Alabama, 
       just outside Mobile, to interview eighty-six-year-old 
       Cudjo Lewis. Of the millions of men, women, and children 
       transported from Africa to America as slaves, Cudjo was 
       then the only person alive to tell the story of this 
       integral part of the nation's history. Hurston was there 
       to record Cudjo's firsthand account of the raid that led 
       to his capture and bondage fifty years after the Atlantic 
       slave trade was outlawed in the United States. In 1931, 
       Hurston returned to Plateau, the African-centric community
       three miles from Mobile founded by Cudjo and other former 
       slaves from his ship. Spending more than three months 
       there, she talked in depth with Cudjo about the details of
       his life. During those weeks, the young writer and the 
       elderly formerly enslaved man ate peaches and watermelon 
       that grew in the backyard and talked about Cudjo's past--
       memories from his childhood in Africa, the horrors of 
       being captured and held in a barracoon for selection by 
       American slavers, the harrowing experience of the Middle 
       Passage packed with more than 100 other souls aboard the 
       Clotilda, and the years he spent in slavery until the end 
       of the Civil War. Based on those interviews, featuring 
       Cudjo's unique vernacular, and written from Hurston's 
       perspective with the compassion and singular style that 
       have made her one of the preeminent American authors of 
       the twentieth-century, Barracoon masterfully illustrates 
       the tragedy of slavery and of one life forever defined by 
       it. Offering insight into the pernicious legacy that 
       continues to haunt us all, black and white, this poignant 
       and powerful work is an invaluable contribution to our 
       shared history and culture."--Publisher's website.
