Podcasts about Atlantic slave trade

On this episode of Knew Amsterdam Radio, we're chatting with DW Duke, author of "In Search of The Golden Chalice: The Untold Story". This is a fun episode for those intrigued by historical mysteries, intrigue, and what we know of the Atlantic Slave Trade.

In this week's Black Political Rant, Kehinde Andrews (@KehindeAndrews) debunks the psychosis of Whiteness in the spirit of Black Employment Month. The arguments and myths are based on Kehinde's book The New Age of Empire: How Racism and Colonialism Rule the World: including Arab slavery in Afrika, why Britain really abolished the Atlantic Slave Trade (nothing to do with morals), not everything that's anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist is Marxist + more.   - In this week's Official Guest Interview, Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu joins Kehinde Andrews to chop it up on Gaza, racial gatekeepers, Kemi "not bad enough" Badeoch and Kamala Harris potentially becoming the two first Black female heads of government supporting genocide + more.  DR.

"History 102" with WhatifAltHist's Rudyard Lynch and Erik Torenberg Key Takeaways  Our society obsesses over African slavery; it has become a deep psychological neurosis that tears society apart Africa had three different slave trades from the Middle Ages to the 20th centuryThe internal African slave (the largest) The Muslim slave trade (selling slaves to the Muslim world; 2nd largest) The Western European slave trade (3rd largest)Throughout human history, Africa was the place that the most slaves were pulled out of – contrasted with other areas such as Europe and Asia, which had centralized governments that were able to protect their citizens Once Africa became a part of the global economy, it realized that it could offer slaves in exchange for goods and servicesThe vast majority of people involved in the African slave trade were black “I don't think any serious historian could ever support the 1619 Project who is not an ideologue. It's not even a historical argument; it's a political argument masquerading through history.” – Rudyard Lynch Because America was so wealthy, African-American slaves had a higher quality of living than the peasantries of Europe did; however, African-American slaves were disenfranchised from any sort of respect or social standards “I think the British ending slavery in the 1830s and 40s is one of the most admirable things a country has done.” – Rudyard Lynch The West practiced slavery, but it was also a society that ended it – which is historically rareAs religions developed and spread around the globe, they eventually abolished slavery among their people Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode of History 102, WhatifAltHist creator Rudyard Lynch and Erik Torenberg discuss the history of the Muslim slave trade, a forgotten tragedy that predates and rivals the Atlantic slave trade in both scale and brutality. Dive into the complex dynamics and enduring impact of this dark chapter in African history, and explore the Muslim and internal slave trades while also challenging the 1619 Project's narrative. Learn about the broader context of global slavery, the complex origins of racial inequality, and the global network that fueled the transatlantic slave trade.

Dr. Kay provides a brief Mental Health Check-Up (MHCU), to check in on a term used in last week's episode 4 of The Valley... this term for sex and pregnancy is commonly used and yet publicly debated, due to its racist sociohistorical context and common use.NOTE: There is mention, although not graphic, of slavery, enslaved women, and rape in this explanation of the history of a term we still use today.That said, the final word online (including Snopes) seems to suggest it does not have racist roots, because the earliest documentation uses the term in a context unique from slavery. However, when we think about the sociohistorical context and environment that most likely influenced the use of this exact term for sex/impregnate/pregnant, in the first place, it seems likely that the term may have first been used in the context of the Atlantic Slave Trade, in the 1500s (the same time period the term is first known to have been used), and by the 1800s, when the term is first documented, it had started being used in regards to more and more groups of marginalized women (first, enslaved women in the 1500s; then, widowed women in the 1800s; today, it might be used to refer to any woman). Doesn't it make sense that it would start with the more specifically cruel and oppressive use (1500s, also during the Atlantic Slave Trade), and, over time, become more relaxed (1800s) and even funny--or intended to be--in its use (today)? ...Especially because we only know of one meaning for it during the 1500s, whereas we know of multiple meanings later in its history, one of which continued to be in reference to the slave trade (1836). Otherwise, the Snopes theory would be that this popular word had a broader meaning in the 1500s, while everyone was using it, and went on (in 1813) to be used only to refer to widows, and then 23yrs later (1836), it's suddenly given a more negative/harmful/oppressive use, for enslaved women, but then, again, since then, it has become popular to use it to refer to all women again? The theory that it had a non-racist meaning first, because there's earlier documentation of that use, doesn't make sense with the term having been in use for 300yrs by that point,  and could've had multiple colloquial uses 3 centuries later, regardless of what had been documented. The words themselves suggest that the cultural atmosphere of the 1500s, due to the Atlantic Slave Trade, would have led to the term including auctioneer language, and therefore, likely, suggests that the first use of the term may well have been in the context of slavery. —------------------------------------------------------------MHCU Website Resources: The Twitter PostThe Spectator Article The Snopes ArticleTime Article on Language for PregnancyAtlantic Slave Trade SourceHosts: Dr. Kay & Dr. RayThank you to our sound extraordinaire, Connor!Email: realitycheckpodding@gmail.com

In The Atlantic Slave Trade in World History (Routledge, 2015), Jeremy Black presents a compact yet comprehensive survey of slavery and its impact on the world, primarily centered on the Atlantic trade. Opening with a clear discussion of the problems of defining slavery, the book goes on to investigate the Atlantic slave trade from its origins to abolition, including comparisons to other systems of slavery outside the Atlantic region and the persistence of modern-day slavery. Crucially, the book does not ask readers to abandon their emotional ties to the subject, but puts events in context so that it becomes clear how such an institution not only arose, but flourished. Black shows that slavery and the slave trade were not merely add-ons to the development of Western civilization, but intimately linked to it. In a vital and accessible narrative, The Atlantic Slave Trade in World History enables students to understand this terrible element of human history and how it shaped the modern world.

The Gift: How Objects of Prestige Shaped the Atlantic Slave Trade and Colonialism (Cambridge University Press, 2023) explores how objects of prestige contributed to cross-cultural exchanges between Africans and Europeans during the Atlantic slave trade. An eighteenth-century silver ceremonial sword, commissioned in the port of La Rochelle by French traders, was offered as a gift to an African commercial agent in the port of Cabinda (Kingdom of Ngoyo), in twenty-first century Angola. Slave traders carried this object from Cabinda to Abomey, the capital of the Kingdom of Dahomey in twenty-first century's Republic of Benin, from where French officers looted the item in the late nineteenth century. Drawing on a rich set of sources in French, English, and Portuguese, as well as artifacts housed in museums across Europe and the Americas, Ana Lucia Araujo illuminates how luxury objects impacted European-African relations, and how these economic, cultural, and social interactions paved the way for the European conquest and colonization of West Africa and West Central Africa.

Hannah Durkin is a historian whose new book, Survivors: The Lost Stories of the Last Captives of the Atlantic Slave Trade, shines a light on the final years of a pivotal yet deeply troubling period in US and global history. The Clotilda, the subject of Durkin's book, was the last slave ship to land on American soil in 1860. This was despite a federal law banning the importation of captive individuals from the African continent having been passed over half a century prior. Some of the survivors onboard The Clotilda lived well into the 20th century and the book aims to highlight their stories. Joining Durkin in conversation for this episode is Christienna Fryar, the historian and broadcaster with a focus on modern Britain, the British Empire, and the modern Caribbean. Most recently she was Lecturer in Black British History at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Regular listeners know how I look for role models in similar situations to ours regarding the environment. We know our polluting and depleting are bringing us toward collapse, but instead of acting, we procrastinate on acting. We rationalize and justify our inaction. We abdicate our responsibility, capitulate, and resign to complacency and complicity.Humans behaved this way in the face of slavery, especially during and after the Atlantic Slave Trade, which led me to bring several guests who were experts on that period and people who acted against it.Humans behaved this way in the face of fascism too. I'm not comparing people today to Nazis, but to Germans who may not have been Nazis, and may even have opposed them, but continued paying taxes, supporting them, and not opposing them. This episode brings my first subject-matter expert in the field of the rise of the Nazis. I've written and brought guests on who knew some people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Sousa Mendez, Raoul Wallenberg, and Oskar Schindler, but I haven't learned about the politics and conditions that led to Hitler's rise.Benjamin Carter Hett's book The Death of Democracy recounts that rise, to critical praise (of the book, not Hitler's rise), including new historical information.How could people watch it happen and not stop it?What can we learn from them to stop ourselves from procrastinating and watching it happen?What options do we have? What options can we create? Ben's home pageHis book: The Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar RepublicHis page at the CUNY Graduate Center Hosted on Acast.

If John's specialty in deep history weren't valuable enough to understand how our culture's dominance hierarchy formed from the material conditions of the dawn of agriculture, he also specializes in American history, including slavery from before the Revolutionary War through to the Thirteenth Amendment.We start with his sharing what drew him to the two fields. Then I introduce what led me to want to learn from him. I share a main thesis of my book, starting with the journey that led me to see how today's industry and technology evolved from slavery. To clarify, I understand that machines and industry didn't help end slavery, but sustained the system, including its cruelty, just changing the mechanism.As I heard, my thesis is essentially accurate. He shared more history of how slavery evolved from before the Atlantic Slave Trade, through North American chattel slavery, how the framers of the Constitution handled it (or sold out on it), how it evolved with cotton, and more.If you are interested in how our culture still practices the cruelty that slavery did, though with more people suffering and dying, listen to this episode. Then read my book when it comes out to see how to channel the motivation to change that system to effective action.John's article on deep history, a short version of his book: Climate, Human Population and Human Survival Hosted on Acast.

Topical teaching pertaining to the origins of the Hebrew Israelites and how slavery played a major part in their conception. We will also examine how the Hebrew Israelites use the Scriptures to promote the concept that the Atlantic Slave Trade proves that people of color are the true Hebrews thus claiming that those who currently dwell in the land of Israel are impostures. In addition, we will take a critical look at the Atlantic Slave Trade, slavery as it was perpetuated regarding race, as well as how and why slavery was administered from a biblical standpoint. In doing so, we will see that the Hebrew Israelites promote racism as well as anti-Semitism that continues to put nation against nation, expose how aspects of evolution do the same as it pertains to race, and prove from the Scriptures that all humans are made in the image of the true and living God.

Three years ago, when I started thinking about making a podcast about insurance and history, I had only one topic in mind: slavery. It took three years of reading and researching before I was ready to share it with you, but this episode represents part one of a three-part series about insurance and slavery—an overview of the Atlantic Slave trade and how insurance contributed to and supported that trade. It's a tough topic, but an important one, for insurance professionals and history buffs alike. This is a story about how capitalism developed in Europe and the Americas, about colonialism, the cost of labor, transcontinental marine shipping of kidnapped human beings, and how insurance supported all these things. And how underwriters decide what to insure, and how to insure it.

非洲大陸上，有兩個國家的存在相當不尋常：獅子山（塞拉利昂）與賴比瑞亞（利比利亞）。它們分別是英國與美國，為了讓境內的非洲裔人士「回歸」祖先居住的大陸，而創造出來的國家。這不禁讓人好奇：到底是怎樣的歷史背景與思維，會讓歐洲殖民者想出這種方案，而且深信這是對脫離奴隸身份的黑人而言最好的處置？ 雖然主廚還沒去過這兩個國家，但還是想以地理歷史控的身份，和大家聊聊這兩個國家的誕生、它們的特殊情勢如何導致當代最殘酷的武裝衝突，並且在最後與大家分享：假設我們想去這兩個國家旅行，真的可行嗎？有什麼要準備的？而到了當地，我們又能看到什麼？ 讓我們一起來認識這兩個國家吧！ 大西洋奴隸貿易 Atlantic Slave Trade 西元16至19世紀間，歐洲國家為了自身利益，透過買賣或強迫的方式，將非洲裔奴隸運往美洲殖民地勞動的過程，是今日許多美洲國家擁有大量非洲裔人口的主因。估計超過1,250萬人因此離開非洲，其中1,070萬抵達美洲，其餘則在船程中病歿或者身亡。 回歸非洲運動 Back-to-Africa Movement 西元18世紀末至19世紀初，歐洲與美洲的白人提出，將黑人送回非洲大陸定居的方案，理由是認為非洲裔人士即使脫離奴隸身份，仍然無法在美洲或歐洲翻身，而且可能危及到奴隸制度或勞動市場。獅子山與賴比瑞亞，便是在這個背景下建立的兩塊殖民地。 查爾斯．泰勒 Charles Taylor 賴比瑞亞全國愛國陣線（National Patriotic Front of Liberia）領導者，開啟賴比瑞亞內戰（1989-1997、1999-2003）的軍閥，父親是美國裔賴比瑞亞人，曾經受教於美國麻州本特利大學（Bentley），後來擔任首位非美國裔總統塞繆爾．多伊（Samuel Doe）官員。因貪污被起訴後，先逃到美國，後來輾轉在利比亞強人格達費麾下接受訓練，成為反抗軍領袖，並在1989年進攻推翻多伊政府。1997至1003年間擔任賴比瑞亞總統，因戰事失利逃亡，最後因多項罪名被判50年有期徒刑。任內曾經三度訪問台灣，貪污款項有高達2000萬美金是來自台灣的援助。 資源詛咒 Resource Curse 一個經濟學術語，又稱富足的矛盾（Paradox of Plenty），指國家擁有大量的某種不可再生的天然資源，卻反而形成工業化低落、產業難以轉型、過度依賴單一經濟結構，甚至貧富差距大、政府極權腐敗的困境。 ✅ 本集重點： (00:00:16) 前言：黑人就應該回歸非洲？ (00:03:32) 大西洋奴隸貿易（Atlantic Slave Trade）與回歸非洲運動（Back-to-Africa Movement） (00:07:41) 英國與美國，如何分別在非洲地圖上創造出獅子山與賴比瑞亞 (00:11:32) 回歸者遇到的挑戰：水土不服、疾病、文化差異，族群張力如何導致內戰 (00:16:09) 從賴比瑞亞、美國、利比亞再回到賴比瑞亞，反抗軍領袖查爾斯．泰勒（Charles Taylor） (00:19:48) 賴比瑞亞與獅子山內戰的終結 (00:22:56) 經濟學術語：資源詛咒（resource curse）與獅子山 (00:24:28) 去獅子山和賴比瑞亞旅行，真的可行嗎？ (00:30:34) 結語：1990年代，其實沒有我們想像的那麼美好 Show note https://ltsoj.com/podcast-ep145 Facebook https://facebook.com/travel.wok Instagram https://instagram.com/travel.wok 意見回饋 https://forms.gle/4v9Xc5PJz4geQp7K7 寫信給主廚 travel.wok@ltsoj.com 旅行熱炒店官網 https://ltsoj.com/

During the 16th century in Europe, the Portuguese dominated the African slave trade. European ships were first exposed to African slaves when privateering vessels would find enslaved  Africans packed alongside Atlantic trade goods in the hulls of the captured ships. The Spanish were the first to try and break up the Portuguese monopoly on slaves, establishing a system known as the asiento de negros in the 16th century which was an agreement between the Spanish crown and a private person or granting a monopoly in supplying African slaves for the Spanish colonies in the Americas. The Dutch would use similar contracts to compete in this market, and it wasn't long before the British and French followed suit. We see glimpses of this history in Shakespeare's plays when he mentions the word “slave” over 170 times, the word “negro” specifically in his play Merchant of Venice, and he refers to “an African” in the play The Tempest. Here today to help us understand the start of the Atlantic Slave Trade and the place of Africans, and understanding of black skinned people, and even white skinned slaves for Shakespeare's England, is our guest and author of Transformations of Slavery: A History of Slavery in Africa Paul Lovejoy.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: It is amazing but true: the coverage of the Biden document story by Fox News has been more restrained and responsible than has CNN's. The desperate attempt to position the Think Tank Papers story  as one that - in the words of a CNN commentator - "almost exonerates" Trump, continued last night. The raw numbers are startling: between 5 and 11 PM ET Monday, MSNBC gave the story 14 minutes, Fox News gave it 29 minutes, and CNN gave it 107 MINUTES. Three and a half times as much as Fox! And the worst perpetrator of CNN's willingness to literally lie to its viewers has been Anderson Cooper. The first words out of his mouth last night were how quote “President Biden's first public statement on the classified documents uncovered at his former private office” were 'breaking news.' I suggested in real time that if Cooper had any remaining self-respect he would quit before his program was over. He didn't. He doesn't. There is much more than money to what CNN's new fascist troika - Chris Licht, David Zaslav, and John Malone - is doing. This is the Clinton-Lewinsky night-after-night brainwash play: convince America that if Biden is not guilty, Trump is not guilty. And having sold their souls, they will keep pushing this as long as we don't stop them. B-Block (18:45) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Poor Mike Pompeo couldn't get anybody to blurb his book so he had to do it himself. He competes with a climate denier who insists if we reinstate wind power we will automatically reinstate The Atlantic Slave Trade, and the nimrods like Tomi Lahren who complained that Ukraine's president went to Hollywood for the Golden Globes last night - even though he didn't. (23:58) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL No. 1: The perfidy of using cable news to brainwash didn't start with Chris Licht. I was there the day the Chairman of GE was ready to shut down MSNBC because his Mommy the Bill O'Reilly fan believed her son was building IEDs to kill America because Fox told her so. C-Block (41:55) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL No. 2: My first experience with the ad salesmen who pretend to be cable's journalistic decision-makers came even before my first MSNBC show in 1997. That's when the big meeting with the man Microsoft thought shared editorial control of MSNBC was to meet with me, and NBC's execs were worried about only one thing: how effectively I ignored him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roughly half of all the people trafficked from Africa to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries ended up the Portuguese colonial empire of Brazil. This week we're revisiting the shocking history Rio de Janeiro's role as Brazil's gateway for slaves.

During the Atlantic Slave Trade the majority of blacks that came to the 13 colonies as indentured servants and immigrants were from Scotland.

"I'm not Black, I'm OJ!" Today, Brendane and Alyssa are talking kinship, belonging, diaspora wars, and what we need to do to get free. What's the Word? Kinship. Kinship studies are foundational to the discipline of anthropology, but in this section we talk about how people are taking up the concept to tell their own stories today. What We're Reading. Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Trade by Saidiya Hartman. In this segment, we read the first two chapters to trace Hartman's attention to kinship and belonging in the afterlife of slavery. What does it feel like to be a stranger everywhere? What in the World?! We talk about the "intratribal conflict" of the African diaspora wars, the choice of identity and how it's a shortcut for people to understand how to oppress you, dating tips from our moms, boycotting The Woman King, how ADOS and FBA strategies disenfranchise Black Americans and promote anti-blackness, and Brendane's personal experience visiting Ghana. By the way, we're on break! We'll be back with episode 5 on November 9th - just in time for the AAA Annual Meeting!

Luisteraars! ‘This is a cold and dead place.' Dat was de conclusie van een Britse abolitionist – iemand die streed tegen de slavernij – toen hij in 1841 een bezoek bracht aan Nederland. Er bleek geen animo te zijn voor een nationale vereniging tegen de slavernij. De gereformeerden wilden niet samenwerken met de liberalen, omdat die laatsten hun vergadering niet openden met gebed. De voorzitter van de gereformeerde vereniging van abolitionisten merkte op ‘dat de handhaving van het christelijk beginsel (…) van meer belang is, dan de aanwinst van nieuwe leden.' De Nederlandse anti-slavernijbeweging heeft nooit veel voorgesteld De pijnlijke waarheid is dat de Nederlandse anti-slavernijbeweging nooit veel heeft voorgesteld. In 1842 kwamen de abolitionisten met drie afzonderlijke petities. Eén petitie van de gereformeerden, één petitie van de liberalen en één petitie van een groep Rotterdamse vrouwen. Die laatste was de grootste, maar kreeg alsnog maar 128 handtekeningen. Ter vergelijking: in 1853 werd een petitie tegen de katholieken 200.000 keer getekend. In het afgelopen jaar heb ik (Rutger) me ondergedompeld in het historisch onderzoek naar de beweging om de slavernij voor eens en altijd af te schaffen. En wat blijkt: dat is een nogal Brits verhaal. Nederland was namelijk niet het enige land waar het abolitionisme weinig voorstelde. Ook in Portugal, Spanje en Frankrijk waren de omvang en impact marginaal. In Groot-Brittannië daarentegen groeide het uit tot een enorme beweging. In 1833 tekende maar liefst een op de vijf volwassen mannen een petitie om de slavernij af te schaffen. Wat maakte Engeland anders? En hoe belangrijk was het abolitionisme eigenlijk? Was de slavernij niet sowieso verdwenen, ook als de Britse beweging een vroege dood was gestorven? Waren er diepere economische en technologische oorzaken voor het einde van de slavernij? Of hebben de tot slaaf gemaakten gewoon zichzelf bevrijd? En wat kunnen we vandaag nog leren van de abolitionisten? Over die vragen hebben we het in deze podcast. Leesvoer bij deze aflevering: • Jesse zijn voordracht tijdens de Herman Tjeenk Willink-lezing is te vinden op de website van de Raad van State. (https://corr.es/990282) • In een eerdere aflevering spraken we over effectief altruïsme: Een modale Nederlander behoort tot de rijkste 3,5 procent van de wereld. Waarom geven we toch zo weinig aan goede doelen? (https://corr.es/adc2fd) En Rutger vertelde al eerder over het abolitionisme, quakers en de slavenhandel: Zo verander je de wereld: de lessen van de anti-slavernijbeweging. (https://corr.es/1dcfa7) • Rutger noemde ook het essay Explaining Costly International Moral Action: Britain's Sixty-year Campaign Against the Atlantic Slave Trade van Chaim D. Kaufmann en Robert A. Pape. (corr.es/223e13) Als altijd zijn we benieuwd naar jullie gedachten, vragen een leestips. We zijn te bereiken op rudienfreddieshow@decorrespondent.nl

For many years scholars made assumptions about how Europeans traded with West Africans for other, enslaved Africans, about how many voyages were made by slave ships to the English colonies in North America before 1808, and about why the institution of slavery almost died out in New England. Beginning in the late 1960s, however, a movement began that challenged these assumptions and the viewpoints of generations of Euro-centric scholars began to give way to work by data-driven historians.Dr. Donald Wright, Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York College at Cortland, is one of the historians who was part of this sea change in scholarship. He spent decades writing about African history, beginning as graduate student collecting oral histories in Gambia, as well as African American history, and Atlantic history. His books include Oral Traditions from the Gambia and African Americans in the Colonial Era: From African Origins Through the American Revolution.This week Walter Edgar talks with Donald Wright about the myths about and some of the hard facts of the Atlantic slave trade.

The Atlantic Slave Trade mixes centuries of human bondage with violence, economics, commerce, geo-political competition, liberty, morality, injustice, revolution, tragedy and bloody reckonings. That sounds like a lot, yet this show merely scratches the surface of this enormous subject.
