[QUOTE]Originally posted by Egmond Codfried: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [qb] Another decent work on the subject of the slave trade is [IMG]http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172461931l/178472.jpg[/IMG] The Slave Trade is a massive (900-page) book that attempts to document the entire history of the Atlantic slave trade, a sordid business that somehow prospered for more than four centuries. As the sheer heft of the book might indicate, the story is complicated. Much of the extensive research conducted by Hugh Thomas relates to rivalries both in Europe and Africa. Those who wonder how slavery could have existed in the United States may find revelatory the moral ambiguity of how the business of transporting slaves was conducted. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/178472.The_Slave_Trade It details the cost and who made what. and for those who think that Africans were simply trading for trinkets think again. [QUOTE] [b]The king Tegbesu of Dahomey,who made # 250,000 a year from selling Africans in about 1750: far more than any English duke's annual income[/b] [/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]From my own research, after the etnicity of the Surinam slave masters and governors, and from reading Mansfield Park by Jane Austen I know that it was the European Black elite who enslaved Africans. Perhaps the debate among these European Blacks was of these African Blacks were their brothers or just an alien specie. Perhaps Jane Austen tried to make the point that Blacks lowered their own prestige by enslaving their own relatives, the African Blacks. In Mansfield Park fanny Price is casted in the roll of a favourite house slave. The house slaves were in fact relatives of their masters: children, half-brothers/ sisters, which explains their preferential treatment. The problem with books like these, even if they are written by a Black scholar, are ideological racist in their definition of Blacks. Eurocentrist, eurocentrist universities insist that Blacks are those with a certain biometry and have slave ancestors, to be legally identified as Black. Because of this insistence we will never get to the truth if we do not break away from this academical servitude. To do so we will need to break some eggs...This is the colonisation of the mind, that needs to change. [/QB][/QUOTE]
