Exploring the Legacy of the Slave Voyages Database

In the final episode of season two of The Moreish Podcast, Hema wraps up with an encore episode featuring Dr. Nafees M. Khan and historian Dr. Gregory O'Malley from the Slave Voyages Consortium. The conversation delves deep into the Slave Voyages database, a comprehensive online resource documenting the transatlantic and intra-American slave trades through shipping records and other historical documents. With a focus on the Caribbean, the experts discuss the role this database plays in understanding the cultural impact on the African diaspora. We dive into the history of the database, which European countries were complicit in the slave trade, and the existing circumstances of communities and tribes within Africa at the time.
