Abstract
Garcia follows the migration of the American cockroach from its tropical origins in western Africa via slave ships to the New World, and discusses the erroneous relationship between cockroaches, trade ships, and slavery, and the deplorable connection between free African Americans, hygiene, health, and predjudice.
