Synopsis
Caribbean writer Caryl Phillips considers many aspects of racism in general and the slave trade in particular, including an account of the prejudices he encountered as a Caribbean black in Liverpool, the Africans who collaborated with the slavers in the 18th and 19th centuries, the ironies inherent in blacks' "returning" to Africa, and his own researches into these subjects.

Publisher's Note
A thoughtful analysis of the lasting legacy of slavery journeys from Liverpool, England, to Accra, Ghana, and Charleston, South Carolina, to explore the major route of the trans-Atlantic slave trade from the perspective of both historical figures and the author's own personal observations.
Industry reviews
"...THE ATLANTIC SOUND reads like a travel book. Phillips slips almost frictionlessly into the role of the established writer on tour: his sense of familiarity with the West, his impatience, and his detachment form partly a persona that is recognizable from the travel books published each year in London and New York. But by choosing a serious theme for his journey, following the trail of the slave trade, Phillips clearly intends THE ATLANTIC SOUND to be more than just a travel book." New York Review of Books - Pankaj Mishra (04/26/2001) "Caryl Phillips...is uncommonly well placed...to ponder the relationship between people of his own ancestry and those of Europe and North America, as well as that which has lately and self-consciously been pursued by black Americans and West Indians anxious to reclaim their stake in Africa....[H]e has done this lyrically in THE ATLANTIC SOUND, with an extremely balanced assessment divided into five episodes, each casting further light on the intricate patterns and prejudices of race." New York Times Book Review - Geoffrey Moorhouse (10/29/2000)
