Inheriting The Trade

A Northern Family Confronts Its Legacy As The Largest Slave-trading Dynasty In U.s. History

BY THOMAS DEWOLF

Brief Description:
A trailblazing memoir about one family's quest to face its slave-trading past, and an urgent call for reconciliation. In 2001, Thomas DeWolf discovered that he was related to the most successful slave-trading family in U.S. history, responsible for transporting at least ten thousand Africans. This is his memoir of the journey in which ten family members retraced their ancestors' steps through the notorious triangle trade route-from New England to West Africa to Cuba-and uncovered the hidden history of New England and the other northern states. A companion book to the film Traces of the Trade.
