On Reversing Sail
Gomez, Michael A. Reversing Sail: A History of the African Diaspora. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2019. pp. 304. Paperback.
This is a great introduction to African diaspora history, especially because it contextualizes the black Atlantic within a larger history of the African diaspora (esp. in the Middle East). There’s nothing new here for those who are already familiar with the topic, but it works as a great entry point for those who are new.
