Plot summary, “The Diligent” by Robert W. Harms in 5 Minutes - Book Review VIDEO
In The Diligent (2002), historian Robert Harms explores the 1730s Atlantic slave trade through a detailed account of a single slaving voyage. Instead of broad statistics, Harms uses First Lieutenant Robert Durant's journal from the French ship Diligent to vividly portray the journey from France to West Africa and the Caribbean. By focusing on local events and daily life aboard the ship, Harms reveals the interconnected histories of France, West African kingdoms, and the Caribbean. This well-researched and engagingly written microhistory provides a unique perspective on the era, appealing to both scholars and general readers.
