Confronting Slavery: Breaking Through the Corridors of Silence
The study deals with aspects of the experiences of Black peoples in Africa, Europe and the Americas that resulted from the transatlantic slave trade and slavery. The study looks specifically at the way in which Africans were acquired from work in the Americas, the Middle Passage or transit across the Atlantic Ocean, the conditions under which they labored in their new environments, the brutalities that they suffered at the cruel hands of their enslavers, the material and social culture that they developed under the very extreme conditions in which they lived, their struggles for freedom, and their attempts to lift themselves up by their own bootstraps after slavery was abolished as a legal institution.
