“Tamango” by Prosper Merimee is a story not only about how clever, cruel and heartless the whites bought and secretly transported slaves, but also about how intimidated, disenfranchised, unarmed Negroes managed to capture the ship of slavers, not knowing, however, that with to do next. Receiving huge profits from the sale of “ebony”, White took little care of the comfort of living goods. In an effort to acquire more and more slaves, they filled the holds with black men, women, and children, many of whom died during a difficult journey. In the novel, P. Merime, something unusual happened: a black slave Tamango, a former famous warrior, was among the usual intimidated and neglected Negroes. For this tall, handsome African, the captain had hoped to save a lot of money.
