Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" is a non-fiction work by Zora Neale Hurston. It is based on her interviews in 1927 with Cudjoe Lewis, the (at the time) last presumed living survivor of the Middle Passage. The book failed to find a publisher at the time, in part because it was written in vernacular, and also in part because it described the involvement of other African people in the business of Atlantic slave trade. While two years later, female survivors were eventually discovered, Cudjoe remained the last to have clear memories of life in Africa before his enslavement and passage.

  • Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" is a non-fiction work by Zora Neale Hurston. It is based on her interviews in 1927 with Cudjoe Lewis, the (at the time) last presumed living survivor of the Middle Passage. The book failed to find a publisher at the time, in part because it was written in vernacular, and also in part because it described the involvement of other African people in the business of Atlantic slave trade. While two years later, female survivors were eventually discovered, Cudjoe remained the last to have clear memories of life in Africa before his enslavement and passage. The manuscript, which was in the Alain Locke Collection at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center, Howard University, remained unpublished until the 21st century. Excerpts from the book were first published in , a 2003 biography of Hurston by Valerie Boyd. The full book was published in 2018. (en)
