Little Sadiq has gone home with the other boys, and Shango has gone alone. There are concerns about Sadiq's sanity as he continues to commune with Abdul, the ghost boy.
VISIONS reveals the hidden truths about the war between the Mandingos and the Fulani and how Europeans were able to capitalize on that division. Mande and Fula's rivalry threatened the fabric of African society and resulted in millions of sub-Saharan Africans dying or being sold into slavery.

Our story begins with Sadiq's realization that he may have inadvertently been the cause of the destruction of the Ancestral Village! We find him amid a crisis as enemy raiders have located HIS village and are preparing for an assault. Backed by Portuguese slavers and armed with European muskets, the invaders set their sights on Ndande.

<span class="ql-cursor">﻿</span>'GRIPPING' THE TIMES 

 This is an immersive and revelatory history of the survivors of the Clotilda, the last ship of the Atlantic slave trade, whose lives diverged and intersected in profound ways.

The Clotilda docked in Mobile Bay, Alabama, in July 1860 – more than half a century after the passage of a federal law banning the importation of captive Africans, and nine months before the beginning of the Civil War. The last of its survivors lived well into the twentieth century. They were the last witnesses to the final act of a terrible and significant period in world history.

In this epic work, Dr. Hannah Durkin tells the stories of the Clotilda’s 110 captives, drawing on her intensive archival, historical, and sociological research. Survivors follows their lives from their kidnappings in what is modern-day Nigeria through a terrifying 45-day journey across the Middle Passage

S&W Episode 962: The Confederados of Brazil

We examine the complex and tumultuous history of the lands around the Caribbean basin, including the rise of the massive sugar-plantation colonies of Jamaica and Saint Domingue, which depended upon an enormous traffic in enslaved African workers, the emergence of distinctive creole languages and spiritual practices, the flourishing of piracy amidst inter-imperial wars, and the long struggle of resistance by slave rebels and defiant Maroons which eventually culminated in the catacylismic upheaval known today as the Haitian Revolution.

We follow the rise of civilization and of powerful empires in West Africa before the slave tade, based upon iron-working and the traffic in gold and salt across the Sahara, followed by the spread of wealth and power southward, towards the gold fields and the tropical forests, and finally the reverberating impacts of the arrival of Portuguese traders on the coast, which paved the way for the rise of the Atlantic slave trade.
