standard for those who study or want to gain more knowledge of African slavery. He has dramatically enhanced both African and slave historiography with his complex endeavor. The book examines how indigenous practices of slavery advanced under the influence of international trade. Unlike so many other books, its study is not restricted to the trans-Atlantic slave trade but also reflects the impact of all forms of slavery on the political, social, and economic development of the continent.

target audience, Equiano might have been a little more descriptive or dramatic with his details. Instead of describing his boat ride over to the island Barbados as a horrible experience he goes into extreme detail of the actual conditions in which the slaves were kept.

History Month, most of the history studied and celebrated during this month is from the civil rights movement of the early and mid-twentieth century. Other than the civil rights movement, much of the black history studied surrounds either the trans-Atlantic slave trade or the abolition movement of the nineteenth century. What is left out, is the impact that black people had on the founding of the United States of America during the American War for Independence.
dishonest, disremembered slaves and properly, artistically burying them, Morrison attempts to transform the shame and pain of slavery into artistic pride in Beloved. A novel that has achieved a place of honor in the American literary canon, Beloved also is a shame- and trauma-saturated work in which Morrison bears witness to the horrors of slavery and rips the veil drawn over proceedings too terrible to relate.
