“Philip D. Curtin's book, The Atlantic Slave Trader Census, came out in 1969 and was groundbreaking in its research on the Atlantic slave trade.”

Sentiment: Critical Analysis
Trigger: Atlantic slave trade research
For: Historians and students of African history
Key quote: “He says the whole story is phony.”
The host mentions Philip D. Curtin's book to highlight the lack of documentary evidence supporting claims about the slave trade from Goree. Curtin's groundbreaking research challenges widely accepted narratives and has sparked significant controversy regarding the historical accuracy of the House of Slaves.
