The Atlantic Sound is a travel book that is also a passionate argument with history: a personal quest to explore and fully understand the painful, ongoing legacy of the Atlantic slave trade. Phillips cruises through the Caribbean, observing everywhere the patronage of the United States. He explores Liverpool, constructed on the slave trade, now denying that history; Elmina in Ghana, site of a slave fort, now a tourist spot for black Americans; and Charleston in the American South, where one-third of black Americans were bought and sold. And Phillips retraces the journey he made to England from the Caribbean, as a child in 1958.
