Posted by brett on 17 Aug 2009 - 19:25 I'm reading a fascinating book at the moment, called Bury the Chains, by Adam Hochschild. It's the history of the British campaign to abolish slavery. It often astounds me that the history of slavery gets so little attention. I mean, this was human rights abuse, a crime against humanity on a massive scale. I'm talking millions of deaths and millions of people uprooted and transported across the Atlantic to live lives of misery. |
