'''''Black Cargoes: A History of the Atlantic Slave Trade 1518–1865''''' (referred to below as ''Black Cargoes'') by [[Daniel P. Mannix]] in collaboration with [[Malcolm Cowley]] was published in 1962 during the [[civil rights movement]] in the United States prior to the passage of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]].<ref
It was the first book on the trade since ''The American Slave Trade'' first published in 1900 by [[John Randolph Spears]]. It had a narrative format and was widely recognized in the popular press at the time including [[Time]] magazine and the [[New York Times]] and was praised in academic articles. The New York Times review indicated that its subject had "special current overtones". One of the chapters, ''The Middle Passage'' was published separately in [[American Heritage]] magazine, also in 1962.
