Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-23 00:00:00 Jim Stewart Dr. Osagie's text is an eye-opening and fascinating view into the finer details of the Amistad incident of the late 1830s. I, as many of my peers were the same way when this book was read in class, knew very little about the Amistad incident before reading this text. Dr. Osagie places a usually opaque and misty event into clearer focus and discusses the cultural and social impacts of the incident in the US and Sierra Leone 150 years after it. Dr. Osagie's book is a literary and informational well with no bottom in sight; however, the text can become somewhat preachy at times. Other times, Dr. Osagie tends to begin to curve off on a tangent in her writing or begin to place subjective information in an objective, scholarly text. This tome is very readable, but at times very verbose, so it may not be a book you finish within one day.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-01 00:00:00 Etienne Gratton I liked it but it did have more statistics than I wanted or cared to read. It was really informative about how much our earth is really struggling. Mother Earth has cancer and its not getting better thanks to us.
