The Slave Trade: Slavery And Color - Paperback

The Slave Trade: Slavery And Color by Theodore Jervey is a comprehensive account of the slave trade and the institution of slavery in America. The author explores the origins and evolution of slavery, tracing its roots back to ancient civilizations and examining its impact on African societies. He also delves into the economic, social, and political factors that fueled the growth of the slave trade, including the demand for labor in the New World and the rise of European colonialism.Jervey provides a detailed analysis of the racial dynamics of slavery, exploring the ways in which skin color and ethnicity were used to justify the enslavement of Africans and the creation of a racial hierarchy in America. He also examines the experiences of enslaved people, describing the brutal conditions of their lives and the ways in which they resisted their oppressors.Throughout the book, Jervey emphasizes the importance of understanding the legacy of slavery and its ongoing impact on American society. He argues that the racial inequalities and injustices that persist in the United States today are rooted in the history of slavery and the enduring legacy of racism.Overall, The Slave Trade: Slavery And Color is a powerful and thought-provoking examination of one of the darkest chapters in human history, and a reminder of the importance of confronting the legacies of slavery and racism in our own time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
