DOC The Diligent: Worlds Of The Slave by Robert Harms in History

Review

This put everything in perspective and it made sense. Especially the profiteering; everyone wanted a cut from the Africans that enslaved to the African kings that sold to the Europeans who bought and sold to the crews on the ships. Well worth the read to be further educated.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful retelling of the slave trade from the deck upBy R. BrownMy daughter ordered this for her college class. I picked it up after she brought it home in the summer. It is a wonderful retelling of the slave trade from the deck up; including discussion of French slave-versus-free laws and the business risks. Shows how well we can compartmentalize our morals when needed for economic gain.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Hard readBy CHARLES E WOODYARDHard read for a descendent of African captives. This book provides insight into the inhumane nature of the society/people/world that allowed this to happen.
