Slaves Without Shackles by Nur Sobers-Khan Pdf

This dissertation consists in a microhistorical study of the social and cultural context of slavery in the early modern Ottoman Empire and Eastern Mediterranean. Using a wide selection of primary sources in Arabic, Ottoman, Persian and various European languages, it examines the slave population recorded in the Ottoman shari'̄a court registers (1560‐1572 AD) of Galata, a neighbourhood of Istanbul. Based on evidence from the court registers, the origins of the slaves, their rates of relgious conversion, and the nature of slave labour in Galata are examined. A detailed analysis of the descriptions of slaves in the court registers and contemporary literature illuminates the cultural construct of slavery in sixteenth‐century Istanbul, and it is argued that the contemporary discourses (legal, literary and pseudoscientific) surrounding slavery allow us to reconstruct the Ottoman articulation of difference and sixteenth‐century Ottoman understandings of slavery. Furthemore, it is argued that the early modern Ottoman Empire encouraged the manumission and integration of skilled slaves into the urban social hierarchy; the capture and enslavement of skilled individuals, particularly in the context of sixteenth‐century Ottoman maritime expansion, disposited as a method of increasing levels of Ottoman manpower and recruiting skilled labour into Ottoman elite households. In addition to presenting empirical findings concerning early modern slavery gathered from the court registers, this dissertation also presents the study of slavery as a framework for analysing the construction of identity in the early modern Mediterranean and argues for a new methodological approach to reading the Ottoman court registers.

Before Shackles & Chains by Reuben Laurore Pdf

BEFORE SHACKLES & CHAINS is an eye-opening depiction of the lost history of the descendants of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. It delves into the lost nation's story prior to becoming prisoners of war and having slavery befall them. These people, said to be cursed, have gone through thousands of years of captivity, poverty, and oppression. This book explains why the Trans-Atlantic slaves, who have been slaves to almost all nations of the world throughout history, went through such atrocities and continue to endure tragedy today. The horrific events Black people have always experienced is directly tied to who they are, and the direction that they are headed towards. Their situation is as mysterious as their origin. However, tracing back their bloodline is the key to understanding their past, present, and their inevitable future. It is a remarkable one, understandably hidden by those who sought to gain knowledge, power, wealth, resources, land, and world domination. While the educational systems all around the world mutually remain silent on this matter, they continue to hide and re-write the story of America's captives. This book exposes the lies that have been taught and sheds light on all that has been intentionally hidden. In fear, the elite has buried the biggest kept secret of all time, a secret BEFORE SHACKLES & CHAINS reveals, the true identity of the Black slaves.

Shackles of Iron by Stewart Gordon Pdf

"Gordon's survey of the topic makes it clear that slavery in the Americas can be understood much better if we put it in this larger context, in terms of both time and place. His chapters on East African and Mediterranean slavery are especially valuable, since these were contemporary with so-called Atlantic slavery and can provide students with valid points of comparison, revealing both the similarities and the variable nature of early-modern bondage. The final chapter is especially timely, reminding readers that much of what we think of as enslavement hasn't really gone away, but simply slipped below the radar of the world media. All in all, Gordon makes it clear that, though it has arisen in different guises and at many different times and places, slavery has been and remains deeply rooted in human society. A rewarding introduction for anyone looking to better understand slavery as a world-wide institution." —Robert Davis, The Ohio State University

Broken Shackles by Peter Meyler Pdf

In 1889, Broken Shackles was published in Toronto under the pseudonym of Glenelg. This very unique book, containing the recollections of a resident of Owen Sound, Ontario, an African American known as Old Man Henson, was one of the very few books that documented the journey to Canada from the perspective of a person of African descent. Now, over 112 years later, a new edition of Broken Shackles is available. Henson was a great storyteller and the spark of life shines through as he describes the horrors of slavery and his goal of escaping its tenacious hold. His times as a slave in Maryland, his refuge in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and his ultimate freedom in Canada are vividly depicted through his remembrances. The stories of Henson's family, friends and enemies will both amuse and shock the readers of Broken Shackles: Old Man Henson From Slavery to Freedom. It is interesting to discover that his observations of life's struggles and triumphs are as relevant today as they were in his time.

I've read and studied the history of slavery most of my life. I know that there are many who would like to know more about the history of slavery. the inhuman treatment of a people kept in bondage. Writing this book I feel will give those who want to know more, like the younger generation, regardless of their ethnic background to know and understand what slavery was about. Growing up in the South, in the Civil Rights era, I have experienced first hand the cruelty of one human being to another.

This part of history was not taught in schools, but my novel although a fiction tells the true story of a people that lived in human bondage.

Slavery and Other Forms of Strong Asymmetrical Dependencies by Jeannine Bischoff,Stephan Conermann Pdf

In der Buchreihe des "Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies" werden Monographien und Tagungsbände, die das Phänomen der Sklaverei und andere Formen asymmetrischer Abhängigkeiten in Gesellschaften untersuchen, veröffentlicht. Die Reihe folgt dabei der Forschungsagenda des BCDSS, die die vorherrschende dichotomische Vorstellung von "Sklaverei versus Freiheit" überwindet. Das Cluster hat dazu ein neues Schlüsselkonzept ("asymmetrische Abhängigkeiten") entwickelt, das alle Ausprägungen von ungleichen Dependenzen (wie etwa Schuldknechtschaft, Zwangsarbeit, Dienstbarkeit, Leibeigenschaft, Hausarbeit, aber auch gewisse Formen der Lohnarbeit und der Patronage) berücksichtigt. Dabei werden auch Epochen, Räume und Kontexte der Weltgeschichte bearbeitet, die nicht der europäischen Kolonisierung ausgesetzt waren (z.B. altorientalische Kulturen sowie vormoderne und moderne Gesellschaften in Asien, Afrika und den Amerikas).

Way of Death by Joseph Calder Miller Pdf

This acclaimed history of Portuguese and Brazilian slaving in the southern Atlantic is now available in paperback. With extraordinary skill, Joseph C. Miller explores the complex relationships among the separate economies of Africa, Europe, and the South Atlantic that collectively supported the slave trade. He places the grim history of the trade itself within the context of the rise of merchant capitalism in the eighteenth century. Throughout, Miller illuminates the experiences of the slaves themselves, reconstructing what can be known of their sufferings at the hands of their buyers and sellers.

Humans in Shackles by Ana Lucia Araujo Pdf

"Ana Lucia Araujo's Humans in Shackles is an Atlantic cultural history of slavery in the Americas that sets out to redress the imbalances of existing general histories of slavery by centering on the lived experience of enslaved men and women. In this panoramic book, Araujo provides a humanistic, narrative history that explores in detail the social, cultural, and religious dimensions of the lives of bondspeople. She surveys the trajectories of men, women, and children from Africa to the Americas, examining how European powers reached Africa, how they traded with various African societies, and how Africans were captured, transported to the coast, and taken across the Atlantic Ocean in the hold of slave ships. The book further explores African captives' working conditions in plantations and urban areas; how bondspeople built families despite the abuses they suffered; and how enslaved people congregated, recreated their cultures and religions, and organized rebellions. The book draws not only on a large array of primary sources-travel accounts, pamphlets, newspapers articles, slave ship logs, fugitive slave advertisements, slave narratives, wills, laws, and correspondence in English, Portuguese, French, and Spanish-but it also incorporates visual sources such as engravings, photographs, watercolors, artifacts, monuments, and heritage sites. Humans in Shackles is a testament to the more than twenty years the author has spent studying the history of slavery and the Atlantic slave trade. Ultimately, it argues that the long era in which humans racialized as Black were placed in shackles is indispensable to understanding the construction of the Americas"--
