| Any historian
of the slave trade is conscious of a large gap in this picture. For the
slave remains an unknown warrior, invoked by moralists on both sides of
the Atlantic, recalled now in museums in one-time slave ports from
Liverpool to Elmina, but all the same unspeaking, and therefore remote and
elusive.
