The Half Has Never Been Told by Edward E. Baptist
This book is written by a white author, but don’t let that stop you. If you’ve visited the Smithsonian Museum of African-American History and Culture, you know that the story of how widespread slavery was and how it contributed to the global economy has been downplayed, likely on purpose. This book expands on that information, explaining how slavery was an institution that benefitted just about everyone except those whose backs it was dependent on.
