THE SHIPWRECKED MEMORY OF THE UTILE SLAVES

摘要

On July 31, 1761, the French ship L'Utile is shipwrecked on a tiny island in the Indian Ocean. Not long after, the sailors manage to reach Madagascar, but they leave behind the Malgache slaves they had embarked illegally on L'Utile. Only a handful of survivors remain when they are found 15 years later, in 1776. UNESCO has reopened this lost chapter in the history of the slave trade.
