Ex-library hardcover from the Punahou Carnival.
The Door of No Return on Gorée Island was one that imprisoned Africans passed through on their way to the slave ships that took them to America: the small island off the coast of Senegal was a major port for the slave trade.
This brief book, illustrated with photos by the author - and thankfully, a map - looks at the history of the island and its current status as a tourist destination and a monument to human suffering.
