The Atlantic slave trade

 

Also known as transatlantic slave trade took place across the Atlantic Ocean from the 16th through to the 19th centuries. Most of the slaves who were transported to the New World were Africans from the central and western parts of the continent, they were sold to the European slave traders who then transported the slaves to North and South America.

How many Africans were taken from Africa through enslavement?

There are no complete records and estimates vary from a few millions to 100,000,000 people. Most historians today think that, according to the shipping records available, between 9 and 11 million people were taken out of Africa by European slave traders and landed alive on the other side of the Atlantic. One researcher gives the higher, very detailed figure of 11,863,000.

The Atlantic slave trade

 

Slavery became an industry for the first time in history when millions of African men and women were sold as slaves to Europeans.

21st Century Slavery 

MODERN SLAVERY TODAY

 

Sex slavery is a major problem in South Africa. Women seeking refugee status in South Africa from other African countries are trafficked by other refugees. An estimated 1000 Mozambican girls are trafficked to Johannesburg each year and sold as sex slaves or as wives to the Mozambican mine workers. When identified by police in South Africa victims of trafficking are deported as illegal immigrants with no treatment for being victims of sex slavery. Victims are afraid of law enforcement and do not trust the police to assist them. South Africa shares borders with Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Mozambique and Swaziland. It has 72 official ports of entry "and a number of unofficial ports of entry where people come in and out without being detected" along it's 5 000km-long land borderline. The problem of porous borders is compounded by the lack of adequately trained employees, resulting in few police officials controlling large portions of the country's coastline.

     Religious Slavery  in modern Ghana is the continuing tradition of giving of virgin girls to the gods for religious attonment or payment for services. This was part of many ancient religions in this region with some connection to Vodun practices. In West Africa the practice has gone on for at least several hundred years. Similar practices using similar terminology were found in the royal court in the 18th and 19th centuries. Wives, slaves, and in fact all persons connected with the royal palace of Dahomey were called "ahosi", from "aho" meaning "king", and "si" meaning "dependent" or "subordinate."

In Ethiopia, children are trafficked into prostitution, to provide cheap or unpaid labor, and to work as domestic servants or beggar

ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE

 

The Atlantic slave trade was the capture and transport of black Africans into bondage and servitude in the New World. The slaves were one element of a three part economic cycle the Triangular Trade and its infamous Middle Passage which ultimately involved fourcontinents, four centuries and the lives and fortunes of millions of people.

There Europeans tapped into the African slave trade that saw slaves transported to the coast of Guinea where they were sold at European trading forts in exchange for muskets, manufactured goods, and cloth. There they were loaded into extremely cramped ships and given only minimal amounts of food and water. It is estimated that fifteen percent of slaves died in the voyage over the Atlantic.

21ST CENTURY SLAVERY

 

 

We have all heard the stories of how slavery was ended in 1865. Yet, even today there are examples of slavery in the world. I am not talking about conditions that are the "equal" of slavery under one theory or another. I am talking about out-and-out slavery. I am talking about people being kidnapped or tricked and then held against their will. People who must work every day long hours or be beat. I am talking about people who are given no money for their labors. People who are bought and sold.

Why would slavery ever exist? The reason is money. Employees cost money. It's a lot cheaper to steal their labor than pay them.

The surprising thing is that it actually goes on in the United States.

Newsweek Magazine (May 4, 1992) reports that slavery is widespread in two African countries, Mauritania and Sudan. In Mauritania, over 100,000 Africans are enslaved. Their families were made slaves by the sword during the 12th century invasions. In the centuries that followed, they accepted it as natural.

Dada Ould Mbarek, 25, of Mauritania, says he and his whole family are slaves. Mbarek spends his back-breaking day taking water from a well and bringing it to paddies where vegetables are grown.

Mbarek's boss lives in the city and owns many cars. He owns 15 slaves in all.

Women in poor Asian countries are tricked into coming into places like Saudi Arabia with promises of jobs. When they get there they are forced to become permanent household slaves, without pay. They are not permitted to leave and are beaten often to control obedience.

One Filipino who escaped from Kuwait claimed "The whole country was a jail."

Encyclopedia Britannica 1992 World Data Annual shows that the economically active sector of the population in Kuwait is 699,000. And one must remember that this leaves out a lot of unemployed children and old people. And a lot of women. Only 20.6 percent of women are employed.

Yet, the total official population is only 400,000. That shows a lot of workers are from overseas. And, only 9% of all workers are in manufacturing, with only 1% in agriculture. What do the rest of them do?

It seems that 53% of them are in the category of "services." Compare this to the US, where 32% are in services, and Saudi Arabia, where 29% are in services, and Egypt, where 35% are in services. What do the extra 20% of service workers in Kuwait do?

Laxmi Swami, an Indian woman lured with a housekeepers job, escaped when her Kuwaiti "employers" took her on a trip with them to London. She was kept behind bars for 4 years, half-starved, with daily beatings with an electric cord. "Hundreds of times they called me slave, hundreds of times" said Swami.

Anti-Slavery International of Britain says this is all too common, even today. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, embassies in Kuwait were flooded with "guest workers" desperately taking advantage of their one opportunity to escape.

Slavery takes different forms in different lands. In Pakistan and India there is debt bondage. Poor people are tricked with promises of good jobs, but they are isolated and must deal with their employer in every way. The food they buy and other required things are sold only by their employers, with very high prices. The workers are forced to stay and work until the debt is paid off. But the deck is stacked so the debt keeps getting bigger. The "employee" is a slave for life.

And, even beyond life. The children are kept working until the debt is paid, which never happens. Generations are forced to work without ever seeing a day of freedom.

Like other slaveries, force is used to keep the worker in his place. Beatings, threats and killings are commonplace.

The type of work is different, though. In Kuwait they are household servants. In India it is usually profit making work such as working in stone quarries, brickmaking and carpetmaking.

An ABC TV show recently did an expose on slavery as it exists today. It focused on three countries: India, Brazil, and the United States.

In India it was common for agents of manufacturers to go to rural areas and trick uneducated country folk. These people often had never been to a city, and knew nothing of city life. They lived very traditionally and were very poor. India is one of the poorest countries in the world.

The agents would find poor people with a lot of children, and offer good jobs to one or more. Sometimes they would pay the parents an advance on salary, which would be pennies to us, but was valuable to people in India. Then, they would take the children away. They would make all sorts of promises to the parents that were never kept.

The report showed the heartbreak of parents who never saw their children again. All they knew was that their children were gone forever.

Back in the city, the children were put at work weaving carpets. It seems that their little fingers can make tighter, better knots than adults can, making a higher quality carpet. The ABC news camera burst into a room with dozens of children working feverishly at their looms.

One child, named Israel, told his story. Israel was 12 years old. One day agents appeared at his village, and spoke to his parents. They promised he would make money, but they never pay him. They feed him very little. They make him work all day and night, and beat him when he stops. He sleeps on the floor with 40 other boys. He shows his scars for the camera.

When he left his village, they promised he could visit his family every year. In 4 years, he had not seen any member of his family. Naturally, he never went to school. He was way too busy working for that.

It turned out that every boy working there was under 16. Once they got too big, it was cheaper to just dump them on the street in another town, and go round up some more boys. So, if Israel had not been rescued, he would someday go free. But he could never go home.

Without help, Israel could never find his native village. He had never left his village before. He did not know its location. He could not read. He did not even know where he was. Most importantly, he had no money. And, the bosses would scare them with stories of what would happen if they tried to run away.

Atlantic Slave Trade

21st Century

 

The $32 billion-a-year shadow industry of modern-day slavery exists in a broader matrix of global connections, power, and control that leads to domination of the weak and commodification of the human — for sex, labor, organs, and soldiers, to name a few examples.

It has been identified as the fastest growing black trade — rivaling the illicit exchange of both drugs and weapons — with an estimated 27 million people enslaved worldwide today. That’s more than at any time in history, including the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Asia is home to the majority of the world’s slaves, many of whom are domestically trafficked into labor (agricultural, domestic, industrial) or the sex trade. But slavery also occurs in places like suburban America.

 

Human Goods is for anyone seeking to understand the truth behind the modern global slave trade and the context of issues that enable it. What is it? Where does it happen? Who does it hurt, and who does it serve? What part do we all play in it?  And how much do we care?

Human trafficking is defined by the United Nations as,

The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.

Men, women, and children around the world — including the “developed” world — are forced or coerced into situations that make them vulnerable to slavery through an array of interrelated issues. These include land rights, natural disasters, development projects like roads and dams, climate change, gender inequality, political conflict and violence, racism, displacement, colonization (both political and cultural), technological development, unemployment, crime, health and disease, child abuse, drug use, tourism, globalization, structural adjustment schemes and privatization of resources, economic recession, fluctuations in global pricing, food supply, pornography, lack of education, and general trends of ethno-cultural and/or class dehumanization.

 

And such things are happening. All over the world, people are beginning to voice opposition to unfair economic policies, exploitative production and consumption practices, and sexual violence and domination.  And perhaps most importantly, everyday people are choosing to remove the heartless blinders of comfort, security, and plenty, when bought with the freedom of the poor, weak, and voiceless.

Somewhere in the world right now …

• A Cambodian woman, ravaged by years of rape and torture in a brothel, is rescuing other girls from brothels and giving them the economic and emotional support needed to build new lives.
• A schoolteacher and former slave in Ghana is campaigning for free education for the child laborers of the cocoa fields
• An American NGO is exploring how sexual exploitation in the United States is fueled by a complex system of demand that is entangled in ideas of masculinity, power, and economics, with the hope of deprogramming the culture from generating such demand in the first place.
• A group in Florida is taking their Modern-Day Slavery Museum on wheels around the state to show Americans how they benefit from slavery within their own borders.

21 century slavery case

 

An innocuous bungalow in a leafy London suburb might not be an obvious location for "modern-day slavery".

But that is what 47-year-old Mwanamisi Mruke suffered at the hands of Saeeda Khan.

The 68-year-old hired Mrs Mruke in her native Tanzania in 2006 after she was made redundant from the hospital in Dar es Salaam run by Khan and her late husband.

Khan arranged a domestic service visa and promised to pay her 120,000 shillings (£21) a month into her Tanzanian bank account and £10 a month pocket money in London.

Mrs Mruke, desperate to fund her daughter Zakia's college education, agreed.

But when she got to London, Khan took her passport away, forced her to sleep on the kitchen floor and gave her two slices of bread a day for food. Her clothes were kept in a garden shed.

Between 0600 and midnight each day, Mrs Mruke was expected to be at the beck and call of Khan, who would ring a bell when she or her two grown-up, disabled children wanted something.

Sometimes she would even be woken during the night to take Khan's son out for a walk.

Mrs Mruke did not get a single day off in four years.

Trapped in the house in Harrow, north-west London and terrified by veiled threats made by Khan, Mrs Mruke was cowed into submission.

Khan, who watched television in her native Urdu, deliberately did not teach Mrs Mruke any English and conversed with her in Swahili.

After a while, the pittance she was being paid dried up completely.

Khan refused to let her return home after the deaths of her mother and father or for her daughter's wedding in 2009.

Caroline Haughey, prosecuting, told Southwark Crown Court: "From the moment of her arrival in England Mwanamisi was made to sleep, work and live in conditions that fall by any understanding into that of slavery."

Eventually, in February 2010, during a visit by Mrs Mruke to her local GP, the doctor and an interpreter - Rhoda Mwanga - became concerned about her living conditions and her interaction with Khan.

Mrs Mwanga contacted a charity, Kalayaan, which looks out for people trafficked into domestic servitude. It in turn rang the police.

Saeeda Khan would ring a bell to summon Mwanahamisi Mruke

Ten days later, police officers, accompanied by Mrs Mwanga and staff from Kalayaan, visited Khan's home and took Mrs Mruke to a place of refuge.

Mrs Mwanga told the court: "When we were in the kitchen, Mwanamisi said 'that's where I sleep' and pointed at the floor."

Khan was arrested and later charged with trafficking a person for exploitation.

During the investigation police found a sinister letter, written in Swahili and by someone in Tanzania, which warned Mrs Mruke not to complain about her treatment.

From the seventeenth century on slaves became the focus of trade between Europe and Africa. Europe's conquest and colonization of North and South America and the Caribbean islands from the fifteenth century onward created an insatiable demand for African laborers, who were deemed more fit to work in the tropical conditions of the New World. The numbers of slaves imported across the Atlantic Ocean steadily increased, from approximately 5,000 slaves a year in the sixteenth century to over 100,000 slaves a year by the end of the eighteenth century.

Evolving political circumstances and trade alliances in Africa led to shifts in the geographic origins of slaves throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Slaves were generally the unfortunate victims of territorial expansion by imperialist African states or of raids led by predatory local strongmen, and various populations found themselves captured and sold as different regional powers came to prominence. Firearms, which were often exchanged for slaves, generally increased the level of fighting by lending military strength to previously marginal polities. A nineteenth-century tobacco pipe (1977.462.1) from the Democratic Republic of Congo or Angola demonstrates the degree to which warfare, the slave trade, and elite arts were intertwined at this time. The pipe itself was the prerogative of wealthy and powerful individuals who could afford expensive imported tobacco, generally by trading slaves, while the rifle form makes clear how such slaves were acquired in the first place. Because of its deadly power, the rifle was added to the repertory of motifs drawn upon in many regional depictions of rulers and culture heroes as emblematic of power along with the leopard, elephant, and python.

 

The institution of slavery existed in Africa long before the arrival of Europeans and was widespread at the period of economic contact. 

 

The institution of slavery existed in Africa long before the arrival of Europeans and was widespread at the period of economic contact. Private land ownership was largely absent from pre-colonial African societies, and slaves were one of the few forms of wealth-producing property an individual could possess. Additionally, rulers often maintained corps of loyal, foreign-born slaves to guarantee their political security, and would encourage political centralization by appointing slaves from the imperial hinterlands to positions within the royal capital. Slaves were also exported across the desert to North Africa and to western Asia, Arabia, and India.

 

21st Century Slavery

 

"Sad but True"

There are more slaves today than were seized from Africa in four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The modern commerce in humans rivals illegal drug trafficking in its global reach—and in the destruction of lives.

Atlantic Slave Trade (Documentary)

Between 1500 and 1870 about a million passangers where transported from Africa, to regions in the Americas; they were enslaved africans and they're journeys were filled with pain, suffering and death. This movement is called the Atlantic Slave Trade. They were transported to the Americas to work on large farms, even though at first, they had resulted to American slaves, they soon realized that it was better to use Africans thus, Africans had been exposed to sickness from the Europeans so they were stronger, they also had more experience with hard work and were less likely to escape. This made them turn to Africans :

21st Century Slavery (Documentary and Debate)

 

This is a documentary about 21st century slavery and a debatae at the end, I likes this one because it not just speaks about it in general, but it goes deep into each of the categories of 21st century slavery. It is a playlist with 8 videos, the first 7 talk about each category and the last video is the debate. (It's long, I know, I'm sorry... and I'm aware Natalia had posted the sex slaves one, so ignore that one then...)
