The archive will not liberate us. But we can liberate the archive. The Book: This is the forensic heavy lifter—a deep dive into the machinery of the Atlantic trade. It exposes the Quint-Loop System of merchants such as Richard Oswald and Henry Laurens, who treated human beings as inventory. It also introduces the Diaspora Scavenger’s Compass—a method for reading ledgers against the grain to uncover the Thirteen Arteries of dispersal. This volume traces the diaspora beyond the Lowcountry to Trinidad (the Merikins), the Bahamas (Black Seminoles), and Nova Scotia.
Key Points:
Systemic Analysis: Reveals the moral mathematics and insurance logic that drove the trade.
Global Scope: Maps the Fractal Diaspora from Bunce Island to the Caribbean and Mexico.
The Scavenger’s Method: A guide for researchers and genealogists on finding ghost routes in colonial records.
