A reporter’s travel investigation in the Portuguese province of Angola and the islands of San Thomé and Principe documents contemporary systems of forced labor and deportation. It details plantation and domestic slavery on the mainland, the overland marches and river crossings that compose the slave route, and the agents, carriers, and vessels involved in exportation. Photographs, maps, and eyewitness description convey conditions aboard ships and on island plantations, while chapters examine missions, European settlements encountered en route, and the human toll of hunger, disease, and routine brutality.
