What is The Book of Negroes Historical Guide? Description of The Book of Negroes Historical Guide

This interactive companion outlines the history of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and how this is reflected and examined in Lawrence Hill’s award-winning novel and BET Television mini-series, The Book of Negroes.

The six-part BET mini-series follows the life of Aminata Diallo, a young African girl kidnapped by slave traders and brought across the Atlantic to North America. In the course of her long and hard life, Aminata is a witness to major events in the slave trade and the history of Black North Americans.

Over seven chapters, the app provides a timeline of Black history from 1705 to the present day. In addition, it explores the historical grounding of both the novel and series in the original Book of Negroes historical document, which identified Black slaves who fought for the British during the American Revolution.

Using images, videos, and interactive maps, the guide follows the far-reaching impact of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. For educational settings, the guide features optional discussion questions and further investigation of the various topics. An intuitive interface allows users to swipe, tap, and scroll through chapters to engage with interactive features in a linear or nonlinear fashion, and gain a deeper understanding of the historical events portrayed in The Book of Negroes.

The Book of Negroes Historical Guide Cons

5th grade level propaganda in 10 minutes; not a complete historyThis hits on all of the major bullet points of the Atlantic Slave trade and the history of Blacks in America and Canada. Slavery to Civil War to Harlem Renaissance to Blacks in sports to Civil Rights Act to Obama. That's it. I didn't skip anything. The rest is promotional info for the actual book. No info on slaves traded to asia and in africa, nor info on who captured the slaves (here's a hint: cure for malaria wasn't invented yet.) Nothing on the significant efforts of William Wilberforce to end slavery: 'A system of slavery that has existed for millennia is ended by a passage of a law, a law that was voted down 11 times in 15 years when it finally passed 204-5.' Think that could be expanded on, why a law suddenly becomes nearly universally approved? No mention of the massive effort of the British Navy to end the slave trade and the thousands of lives lost at sea to save Black lives? There is a few mentions that both Washington and Jefferson owned slaves. No mention that the slaves were freed and provided for in both men's wills, nor the personal letters of both men anguishing over the moral issue of slave holding against the reality that these people where unable to function in society as they were uneducated and the social conditions would make it very difficult to succeed. And the general assumption is that slavery is all whipping and beating and raping of the blacks, when in fact many slaves once freed took the name of their slave holders and many whites provided for black families assistance. In short, this is more a list of grievances meant to divide people than educate. The real story of Blacks is something we should be as a nation should be in the end proud of: under the lead of Britain, a millennia long system that degraded humans was ended not only in our countries but then we forced the rest of the world to by and large do the same. Black people have a better shot in this country and the West than anywhere else in the world. They deserve the truth..Mke9634Version: 1.0

GreatPromo advert but LackingContent...This is a well done promo for the novel and miniseries; kudos to the slick production team. However, the app chews up nearly half of a GB in data memory and offers very little of substance (for anyone either above primary school or beyond a level of bigoted willful ignorance) but of course it's free and you get what you pay for. I think reviewer "Mke9634" said it best in his Feb 23, 2015 review: "5th grade level propaganda..." And that's sad - this could have been so much more than it was..Sjm49Version: 1.0
