Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, when British naval forces intensified their efforts to dismantle the abhorrent slave trade in East Africa, "Black Ivory" by R. M. Ballantyne delves into the harrowing realities of this dark chapter in history. Through the eyes of Harold Seadrift, the son of a ship charterer, readers witness the clash between commerce and humanity, as well as the moral dilemmas faced by those involved. This compelling historical novel uniquely intertwines the themes of exploitation and redemption, offering a vivid portrayal of the era’s complexities. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, "Black Ivory" invites reflection on the enduring impact of colonialism and the fight for justice.
