Teaching3bears Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 We will be reading Chapter 33 of SOTW The Middle Ages and I was looking for good books explaining the slave trade between Africa and the West Indies. It can be for high school level or any reading level, but preferably something that library might have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyH in NC Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I used The Middle Passage by Tom Feelings around 13-14 yrs old with my oldest. It is wordless except for the introduction (and perhaps some explanatory notes - not sure) but the art is powerful. I also had a 10 year old at the time and decided not to use it with her at that age so ymmv. It is a powerful book that really allows the reader to imagine some of the horrors of the slave trade. I don't remember what I used with the younger child at that age, but I think we had a book similar to a DK book about the exploration of Africa that had a few pages on the slave trade that was more appropriate for my more sensitive dd. I can look for the exact title in my books later if that will help, but I couldn't find the one I was thinking of by looking on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Exploration-Africa-Snapping-Turtle-Guides/dp/1860070760/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1527962531&sr=8-2&keywords=colin+hynson+africa&dpID=51BW36MRYWL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch I'm fairly certain this is the book I used for my younger dd, but I can't see inside it to make certain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
