Mahommah Gardo Baquaqua

An Enslaved Muslim of the Black Atlantic

Description

A literate Muslim born between 1820 and 1830 in present-day Benin, Mahommah Gardo Baquaqua was enslaved in West Africa and forcibly moved to Brazil in 1845. Baquaqua published his autobiography in 1854 and traveled to England intending to return to Africa. He apparently achieved this goal by the early 1860s, when his paper trail disappears.
