The big mobile network operators in South Africa “have never shown a willingness to … accommodate smaller players”, so the notion that they should be entitled to “Fair Share” is “difficult to swallow for smaller operators who have been at the end of their [unfair] business practices”. That's the view of Dominic Cull, a leading specialist South African ICT lawyer and regulatory adviser to the Internet Service Providers' Association (Ispa), who was speaking to the TechCentral Show (TCS) in an interview (published below). Cull's criticism of Fair Share – at least in the form being advanced by the large telecoms operators – comes as the Association of Comms & Technology (ACT), a lobby group that represents the country's largest telecoms providers, agitates for its adoption by policymakers in South Africa. Fair Share is an idea that has gained traction among operators in Europe, where margins have been pressured in a competitive market. They argue that so-called OTT – “over the top” – companies, which include streaming video providers such as Netflix, Disney+ and TikTok, should contribute a “fair share” to the development of broadband infrastructure. Critics have said this is simply a move by infrastructure providers, which have experienced margin compression with the move from voice to data services, to try to claw back lost profits. Speaking at last month's Datacentrix Showcase 2024 event in Sandton, ICT industry stalwart Andile Ngcaba – who founded Convergence Partners – said the move by ACT to pressure policymakers and regulators over “Fair Share” is not needed or wanted in the South African context. “If it ain't broke, don't fix it,” said Ngcaba, who is a previous policymaker in South Africa and who served as director-general of communications in the Nelson Mandela administration. In the interview with TCS, Cull echoed this view and said ACT's lobbying for Fair Share is partly aimed at “catching the ear” of newly appointed communications minister Solly Malatsi and influencing what is included in forthcoming amendments to legislation that governs the ICT sector in South Africa. In this episode of TCS, Cull chats about: • Whether ACT has a point about Fair Share; • How big content players impact smaller operators and internet service providers, and why the call for Fair Share is coming from the industry's biggest players; • The investments by the OTT players in both terrestrial and subsea fibre infrastructure, including Google's investment in the Equiano cable and Meta Platforms' involvement in 2Africa; • Whether mobile network operators doomed to become low-margin “dumb pipes” like other utility industries. Can they somehow avoid that fate? Don't miss the discussion, and if you enjoyed it, check out our December 2023 interview with Dominic Cull on Starlink in South Africa. TechCentral

Namibië vier die aktivering van die Equiano-ondersese kabel, wat die land posisioneer om 'n streekinligting- en kommunikasietegnologie-spilpunt te word. Telecom Namibië lei die mylpaal, wat saamval met die netwerkoperateur wat ook 32 jaar van diens vier. Laat Woensdag het dit die Telecom Namibië Equiano-kabelstasie in die weste van Swakopmund ingewy. Die hoëkapasiteitkabel verbind Namibië met Europa via Portugal en met die res van Afrika, deur middel van Kaapstad en Johannesburg. Amptenare beskou die kabel as deurslaggewend vir Namibië se toekoms deur vinniger en meer betroubare kommunikasie te bevorder. Dr. Stanley Shanapinda, Telecom Namibia se uitvoerende hoof, het beklemtoon dat 'n 100G-verbinding via Equiano tussen Swakopmund en Johannesburg opeenhoping op landroetes verlig het en die vertraging na Suid-Afrika verminder het. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Shanapinda gesels oor die mylpaal.

Paratus Group is rapidly emerging as a major player in the telecommunications industry in Southern Africa. But who's behind Paratus, and what's its history? From landing Google's Equiano subsea cable in Swakopmund and building a new fibre route between South Africa and Namibia – providing a new data corridor between Gauteng and the world – to working with Meta Platforms to wire up Zambia and building expansive satellite ground stations, the Namibian-born group has its eyes firmly set on becoming a significant telecoms player in the region. In this episode of the TechCentral Show (TCS), TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod chats to Paratus Group chief commercial officer Martin Cox about the company's origins (although founded in Namibia, it cut its teeth in Angola), its current footprint and its future growth plans. Among other topics, Cox discusses: • The impact of the recent subsea cable breaks in West Africa and the role of diverse routes in reducing the impact; • Paratus's new fibre route from Swakopmund to Johannesburg, which runs through Botswana – its significance and what was involved in its construction; • The group's footprint in South Africa, including its new satellite ground station in Irene, near Pretoria; and • Paratus's culture, and why its management team is happiest in “the trenches”; and • Whether a listing for Paratus Group could be on the cards at some point (its Namibian operation is already listed in Windhoek).

In this episode of What's Next with Aki Anastasiou, Barney Harmse, Rolf Mendelsohn, and Schalk Erasmus – the three co-founders of Paratus – reflect on the company's 20 years of success in the telecommunications industry. Barney Harmse is the Executive Chairman of the Paratus Group and has guided the company to become a major telecommunications player with a substantial footprint in Africa. He also boasts a unique skill for spotting talent, which has allowed Paratus to grow rapidly. Rolf Mendelsohn is the Chief Technical Officer of the Paratus Group and has also served as the CEO of Paratus Angola (formerly ITA) for the last seven years. He plays an instrumental role in ensuring the company's infrastructure is comprehensive and effective, with the latest example of his efforts being a deal struck in the DRC to activate hundreds of kilometres of fibre. Schalk Erasmus is the Group CEO of Paratus and works closely with Harmse to implement the company's vision for changing Africa's connectivity landscape through exceptional digital infrastructure and customer service. He has led several of Paratus' most recent projects, including landing the Equiano subsea cable in Namibia and launching the newest Paratus data centres in Windhoek. In this What's Next interview, Harmse and Mendelsohn discuss how Paratus was founded in Angola in 2003. Erasmus then unpacks the company's key achievements over the past 20 years, as well as its current projects — which he believes will double their revenue in the next five years. Harmse also highlights what sets Paratus apart from the competition and how the company is working to transform Africa through affordable, reliable connectivity solutions. Mendelsohn then explains why Paratus has entered the data centre market, before the three co-founders conclude by outlining their vision for Paratus in the next 20 years.

Giuliana Schiavi"L'incredibile storia di Olaudah Equiano, o Gustavus Vassa, detto l'Africano"Olaudah EquianoOccam Editorehttps://occameditore.itOlaudah Equiano ha undici anni quando viene rapito nel villaggio di Essaka, da qualche parte in Africa occidentale. L'unica vita che conosceva non c'è più: prigioniero su una nave negriera diretta nel Mar dei Caraibi, verrà venduto come schiavo a un capitano della Royal Navy. Inizia così una traversata delle zone di confine fra la vita e la morte in cui la natura umana si manifesta – come forse a nessun'altra latitudine – con assoluta brutalità. Ma Equiano decide di non abbandonarsi alla disperazione. Decide di vivere. Insieme al suo padrone, lascia le Americhe e percorre le vie del mondo: naviga fino in Inghilterra, solca l'Egeo e il Mediterraneo, visita la Turchia, l'Italia, la Spagna, ritorna in Africa, partecipa a una missione diretta al Polo Nord, convinto (con Orazio) che «chi va per mare cambia cielo, non animo». Combatte contro i francesi nella guerra dei Sette anni, commercia rum nelle Indie Occidentali, impara a leggere e riscatta la propria libertà. Questa autobiografia è del 1789. Equiano la scrive per denunciare gli orrori dello schiavismo che oggi, in un mondo di migrazioni irreprimibili, ricordano altri orrori – a noi vicini.A cura di Giuliana SchiaviGiuliana Schiavi insegna Traduzione dall'inglese all'italiano e Teoria della traduzione presso la SSML di Vicenza (di cui è rappresentante legale) dove coordina anche i master di traduzione editoriale e tecnico–scientifica dall'inglese e di traduzione editoriale–letteraria dall'arabo; è stata più volte workshop leader ai seminari di traduzione letteraria del British Centre for Literary Translation della UEA, University of East Anglia, di Norwich, UK.

Send us a Text Message.Abolitionist Olaudah Equiano was captured from his home in Africa as an 11 year old boy while his parents were out working one day. He was stuffed below decks of a slave ship, shackled together lying down with hundreds of other captives in what Equiano referred to as “a scene of horror almost inconceivable.” By the late 17th century, Great Britain dominated the slave trade and wealthy plantation owners in the American colonies were lining their pockets, thanks to the labor of 11 million captive Africans forced into slavery. In 1833, Britain signed the Slavery Abolition Act, effectively ending British slavery 30 years before the United States. But did you know, Great Britain didn't just put a stop to slavery, they forced generations of their citizens to purchase those enslaved people? Let's fix that.Sources: National Humanities Center "The Slave Trade" Library of Congress "A Journey in Chains"The Guardian "When will Britain face up to its crimes against humanity?"CNN "Researchers uncover African's part in slavery"Wikipedia "Olaudah Equiano"Beinecke Library "Thomas Thistlewood Papers"History Channel "Why Thomas Jefferson's anti-slavery passage was removed from the Declaration of Independence" The Guardian "Follow the money: investigators trace forgotten story of Britain's slave trade" Support the show! Buy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaine

Google says that it had already spent over 20 percent of the budget, which covers the establishment of its first cloud region in Africa. Managing Director, of Google Africa, Nitin Gajria, says Google had last year, committed $1 billion over five years to increase connectivity and invest in companies to accelerate Africa's digital development, adding that this year, Google is focusing on how it is fulfilling the pledge. He says other African projects include the connectivity to more people in Africa, with Equiano subsea cable now linked to Togo, Nigeria, Namibia, and South Africa, and operations set to begin by the end of the year. Gajria says the new Google Cloud region would be established in South Africa, being it's first on the continent.

The Director of Google Cloud Africa, Niral Patel, says Google has spent well above $200m in Nigeria and across Africa in the last year. The company's Chief Executive Officer, Sundar Pichai, stated he couldn't disclose the exact amount the company had invested and said Google had invested well over 20 percent of its commitment on the continent. At this year's event, the firm revealed that its subsea cable, Equiano, would launch before the end of 2022.

Africa Data Centres' newly appointed CEO, Tesh Durvasula, says investment in ICT in Africa is creating nearly boundless opportunities for growth. Investments in new undersea cables, terrestrial fibre networks and data centres – the latter led by companies like ADC – is helping meet fast-expanding demand from a youthful African population that is coming online for the first time. Speaking on TechCentral's new Impact Series technology show, Durvasula explains why he thinks population trends are fuelling infrastructure investments in ICT. He unpacks the investments that Africa Data Centres, fresh with funding from the US International Development Finance Corporation through its parent, Cassava Technologies, is making on the continent – including expansion into Egypt, Morocco, Senegal and Morocco. In the interview, Durvasula also talks about: * His career background and how he came to Africa Data Centres; * How Cassava Technologies is structured and how Africa Data Centres works with other companies in the group; * The size of Africa Data Centres today and its plans to build new data centres across Africa; * Why new data centre builds are becoming increasingly focused around population centres rather than centres of biggest GDP; * The power-supply challenges associated with building data centres on the continent; * How new submarine cables like Equiano are going to change the ball game; and * Technology trends driving cloud adoption in Africa.

Google's West Africa Director, Juliet Ehimuan, says Google's subsea cable, Equiano, has arrived in Lagos, Nigeria adding that the cable will help improve internet speeds in Nigeria. Ehimuan says the cable, named after Olaudah Equiano, a Nigerian-born writer and abolitionist, will run from Portugal along Africa's west coast to South Africa. She says the Nigerian government has been actively working on its digital transformation programs as part of plans to grow its domestic sectors. She says studies suggest that faster internet connections, better user experiences, and reduced internet costs will help accelerate these benefits.

Togo is celebrating the arrival of Google's Equiano Cable on its shores. The sub-sea cable, which will bring in 20 times more network capacity than the previous cable built to serve the region, will then go on to Nigeria, Namibia and South Africa. Its proponents say it will speed up connections, drive down costs and create jobs. Other big tech firms are also investing in infrastructure projects in a bid to improve connectivity on the continent - and to reach the 800 million people in Africa who have yet to experience the Internet. So why was Togo chosen for the landing point? And what practical difference will this cable make?

News headlines: *The World Bank said South Africa, which ranks among the world's top 10 spenders on social assistance, could consider a range of reforms to its R156bn annual welfare program to make it more cost-effective while expanding support for the unemployed. *The new subsea Equiano cable linking Africa and Europe will significantly decrease internet costs and triple internet speeds in South Africa, says Google. *South Africa's sugar industry is in talks with the government over a potential subsidy that could see it convert more than a third of its annual output into biofuel, according to a group representing companies in the sector.

Google has announced a plan to invest $1bn over five years to finance Africa's digital transformation. The investment focuses on enabling fast, affordable internet access for more Africans; building helpful products; supporting entrepreneurship and small business; and helping non-profits to improve lives across Africa. The statement was made at Google's first-ever Google for Africa event, broadcasted live virtually.Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, shared the planned $1bn investment and will include:Enabling affordable internet access and building helpful productsGoogle is building global infrastructure to help bring faster internet to more people and lower connectivity costs. The subsea cable Equiano will run through South Africa, Namibia, Nigeria and St Helena and connect the continent with Europe.Internet access is also hampered by the affordability of smartphones. Android has developed a device locking technology as part of the Android platform that will enable partners to offer financed devices.Google has collaborated with Safaricom to support the launch of the first “Device Financing” plan in Kenya, and will expand this initiative across Africa with partners like Airtel, MKOPA, MTN, Orange, Transsion Holdings and Vodacom, and more.

The classic memoir of an 18th-century British former slave, and leading figure in the abolitionist movement, Olaudah Equiano. Introduced by David Olusoga, author of the highly acclaimed Black and British. Kidnapped and sold into slavery at the age of 10, Olaudah Equiano's memoir caused a sensation when it was first published in 1789. The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano is the true story of his life, from his 10 years of service as a slave in the British Navy to his experiences - after having purchased his freedom twice - as a freed Black man living in 18th-century England. Equiano would go on to be a leading figure in the anti-slavery movement, boosted by the success of his memoir, which became a best seller and went through nine editions in his lifetime. This new edition of the landmark memoir features a foreword by historian and best-selling author David Olusoga (Black and British), bringing this long-overlooked classic back into the spotlight, and showing his importance, which has been too often neglected, for the story of the abolition of slavery in Britain.

In this eye-opening conversation and rum tasting with Global Rum Ambassador Ian Burrell, some of the topics we discuss include:   How Ian entered the rum world as a bartender, which led to several career transformations as a brand and category ambassador, then the creator of UK Rumfest, and now as one of the cofounders of a blossoming rum brand. The fascinating life of Olaudah Equiano, slave-turned-entrepreneur-turned-freedom-fighter-and-philanthropist. He, of course, is the namesake of Equiano rum and the inspiration for both its products and its philanthropic mission. How rum from the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean is blended with meticulously distilled and aged spirits from Barbados to create the unique flavor profile and multicultural DNA of Equiano's flagship product and its brand new light rum, which I had the privilege of tasting before it even hit shelves here in the US. We discuss the impact of colonialism and geographic indications on today's rum landscape We explore the exciting emergence of multi-style or multi-island rum blends, the difference between “nursing” and “doctoring” a drink, how Ian plans to convert Barack Obama into a rum drinker, and much, much more.

Why do we talk about Phillis Wheatley and the American Revolution?  Vincent Carretta, Professor emeritus  of the University of Maryland, and author of Phillis Wheatley:  Biography of a Genius in Bondage joins us to talk about Wheatley's life, career, and influence.   Professor Caretta has just edited The Writings of Phillis Wheatley , as well as the writings of The Letters of Ignatius Sancho ,  and he has written Equiano, the African:  Biography of a Self-Made Man.  We discuss these writers in this Revolutionary moment in the Black Atlantic.

Equiano is a rum made between Africa and the Caribbean, which is using its name to tell the story of Olaudah Equiano. The Nigerian-born writer and abolitionist was able to buy his freedom from slavery in the 18th century in part by selling rum, before settling in London. Two of the brand’s co-founders, Ian Burrell, a prominent rum expert, and Aaisha Dadral, who is behind the creative studio Crave, discuss creating the perfect rum to tell Equiano’s story.

February 9. Olaudah Equiano. As a child, Equiano was sold into slavery to a captain in the British Empire's Royal Navy. Later, a Quaker trader bought him. Equiano became the man's clerk, and he learned about Jesus. On this date in 1759, Equiano was converted to Christianity and was baptized.  Eventually, in 1766, by skillful trading and saving all he earned, he purchased his own freedom. In time he partnered with the same man who had once owned […] The post Olaudah Equiano, England, African Abolitionist first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

What do you do when your entire life's work gets deleted from the internet? Koby 'Posty' Hagan founded GRM Daily while studying law at university in 2009, and it went on to become the most successful youth platform in the UK, hosting thousands of rap and grime videos from a generation of black British talent and playing a part in the careers of everyone from Giggs to Stormzy. But in 2011, YouTube deleted the channel, losing 2,000 pieces of archive content – content Posty has never seen again. Here on Straight Up, Posty talks about how he coped during one of the most testing times in his career, building the channel back up again to what it is today, as well as launching everything from the RATED Awards to his record label, and, partnering with YouTube again for his new documentary about GRM Daily's come-up, Together We Rise. He also chats to Kathleen and Eleanor how GRM Daily runs day-to-day, the real reason Wiley isn't in the documentary, which stars he knew were going to blow up after seeing their first videos, and his tips and secrets for a successful business.

In this episode, I provide some background information on the slave trade, a bit of information on Equiano himself, and some ideas you can look for in his work. This is a difficult topic to address, but my hope is that by listening to a brief summary of the horrors of the slave trade that you will better be able to appreciate Equiano's value in representing millions of people who would otherwise go unheard. I also address in this episode some of the contemporary ways people criticize slavery; my hope is that you will now better be equipped to understand how those criticisms/ideas are unambiguously wrong.

TechCentral — In this episode of the podcast, TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod interviews Darren Bedford, chief development officer at Wiocc, a telecommunications infrastructure company originally founded to invest in the Eassy cable system along Africa's east coast. Bedford unpacks who Wiocc's shareholders are, why the company was founded to invest in Eassy, and the investments it has made since into other marine cable systems. He also talks about Wiocc's infrastructure investments in South Africa and where the company is seeing the most demand. The discussion then turns to the new submarine cable systems coming to Africa, including Google's Equiano and the Facebook-backed 2Africa, and whether there is sufficient demand on the continent for the huge amounts of capacity these systems will bring. Don't miss the discussion!

Along with Frederick Douglass, the most famous slave in history was probably Olaudah Equiano.  On Equiano’s Middle Passage, he shared space belowdecks with other Africans from possibly dozens of ethnic groups, speaking different languages.

Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 7 of my podcast Leading A Double Life. I’m Kwei Quartey, a physician and author of the Inspector Darko Dawson novels. On my podcast, reflections on being a medical doctor and a writer. This episode, part one of a series on African Literature African Literature: What is it? African literature has been much written about. There is still debate about what it really is, its themes and its style and content. A notable aspect is that it includes both the oral and written literatures. The etymologic definition of literature is “writing formed with letters,” from the Latin littera (letters). Therefore, Pio Zirimu, a Ugandan scholar, suggested the word orature to replace the self-contradictory “oral literature.” Despite the ingenuity of the name, it didn’t really take hold, and “oral literature” is still the more popular term among scholars. Included in oral African literature is the African heroic epic. A prime example is the Sunjata (or Sundjata/Sundiata) Epic of the Mendeka peoples, relating the legend of Sunjata, the 13th century king of the Mali Empire. What is the stereotype about written African literature? The oral form of African literature is frequently mentioned and acknowledged in papers and books, but even supposedly knowledgeable scholars hold the view that written African literature barely made any appearance before the 1950s (as a result of colonization). In other words, before Chinua Achebe’s famous Things Fall Apart and other African writers’ works of that era, there was no good African literature to be found. TFA was one of the first African novels to garner international critical acclaim, but was that all there was? No, says Princeton professor of medieval, early modern, and modern African literature, Wendy Laura Belcher. She notes in her paper on African Literature, An Anthology of Written Texts from 3000 BCE to 1900 CE that while historians labor to overturn privailing misconceptions that Africa is a place without history, literary critics have done little to overturn a mistaken view that Africa has no literature. Some Westerners believe that writing on the continent was not done by Africans or in African languages. Belcher emphasizes, and others back her up, that in fact there is an at least 3000-year history of African writing. Why has some African literature escaped notice (or been ignored)? Much of African literature over the last millenia has disappeared from view because it has not survived, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, but extant texts refer to these ancient documents as having existed. Second, many works were not published and therefore went unknown. Third, very few were translated from African languages into European languages, and they were therefore ignored. As much as scholars probe and dissect shining examples of twentieth century African literature, Belcher points out there are historical precedents to the works of the prominent modern-day African writers. For example, it could be argued that the pidgin English works of Amos Tutuola (The Palm-Wine Drinkard), (which Dylan Thomas called “fresh, young English”), Ken Saro-Wiwa (Sozaboy), and Uzodinma Iweala (Beasts of No Nation) were well preceded by Antera Duke‘s eighteenth century diary, which was written in Nigerian pidgin English and carried to Scotland by a Scottish missionary. Where is that ever mentioned in popular analysis? Historical categories of African literature One subsection of African literature emerged from the writings of Africans living outside of Africa– both slaves and African youths whom European colonists sent to study in England, France, Portugal, Italy, Holland and Germany. The Interesting Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African (1789), was written by former slave Olaudah Equiano, who described the awfulness of slavery and the slave trade. Equiano was in the forefront of the movement in Britain to abolish slavery. His book was highly influential in bringing the trade to an end. Written in English, Equiano’s narrative received much attention, but another group of Africans in Europe had writings in Latin. Those have not commanded as much close examination. What are the ancient forms of African literature? The Arab expansion in the Sahel spread Islam to the region, and the 11th-century Berber-led Almoravid invasion of the Empire of Ghana (not to be confused with modern Ghana) brought with it a Kufic-derived Arabic script. Mali, Sudan, and Nigeria developed different styles of Kufic-derived calligraphy. The role of Arabic writing and literature in West Africa has been long underestimated. Ajami is an African-adapted Arabic script found in the Swahili, Hausa, Wolof, and Yoruba. It is 300 t0 500 years old. Another ancient written form in Nsibidi, which is an ideographic script with a system of symbols that was indigenous to what is now southeastern Nigeria. It dates back to at least 2000 BC. Many people don’t realize that the much-commercialized Adinkra symbols of Ghana also represent old, ideographic writing. It dates back to at least 1817, when the Englishman Thomas Edward Bowdich collected a piece of Adinkra cloth in 1817. The next oldest piece of Adinkra textile was sent in 1825 from the Elmina Castle to the royal cabinet of curiosities in The Hague. Lybico-Berber or Tifinagh script dates back to 3000 BC at least, and is the ancient writing of the Tuareg and other peoples in Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, Egypt, Chad and Niger. The Egyptians invented three different types of scripts–hieroglyphic, hieratic and demotic; and yes, like it or not, Egyptians are Africans. Vai script (3000 BC to present) is a particularly lovely form of writing indigenous to Liberia and a small portion of Sierra Leone. It is a set of symbols representing syllables Other languages with syllabaries include Japanese. Summary Clearly, there is much more to learn about African literature. In reference to Ajami, Serigne Kane notes, “the writings of black African authors have long been neglected due to prejudice, as both Europeans and Arab scholars with the necessary linguistic competence to study their works have often deemed their insights of little or no scholarly interest or benefit, and most assume that sources of knowledge on Africa are either oral or written in European languages,” (quote from Fallou Ngom.) Much the same applies to other forms of African writings. Even the word “literature” seems to have been captured and held hostage by Eurocentric exceptionalism as its rightful and exclusive property. African literature has been viewed as that which developed as a result of the “civilizing influences” of invading Europeans. It’s time to take the blinders off and open up the mind.

Tonight on The Gist of Freedom listen to excerpts from the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano, a survivor of the middle passage! www.BlackHistoryBLOG.com --Survived The Middle Passage, purchased his freedom, became a black abolitionist  and  authored the first known  Enslaved African Narrative . He was a famous proponent of British abolitionism and worked with William Wilberforce.  His story is featured in the movie Amazing Grace. He settled in the United Kingdom in 1792. His autobiography, "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano", depicts the horrors of slavery and influenced the enactment of the Slave Trade Act of 1807.                                                                   They put us in separate parcels, and examined us attentively. They also made us jump, and pointed to the land, signifying we were to go there. We thought by this, we should be eaten by these ugly men, as they appeared to us; and, when soon after we were all put down under the deck again, there was much dread and trembling among us, and nothing but bitter cries to be heard all the night from these apprehensions, insomuch, that at last the white people got some old slaves from the land to pacify us. They told us we were not to be eaten, but to work, and were soon to go on land, where we should see many of our country people. This report eased us much. And sure enough, soon after we were landed, there came to us Africans of all languages.      

In this episode the source for the second Atlantic History class is given. The source is an excerpt from Olaudah Equiano's moving account of the horrors experienced by slaves upon the crossing from Africa to the Americas.

With Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773), Phillis Wheatley became the first English-speaking person of African descent to publish a book and only the second woman -- of any race or background -- to do so in America. Written in Boston while she was just a teenager, and still a slave, Wheatley's work was an international sensation. In Phillis Wheatley, Vincent Carretta offers the first full-length biography of a figure whose origins and later life have remained shadowy despite her iconic status.A scholar with extensive knowledge of transatlantic literature and history, Carretta uncovers new details about Wheatley's origins, her upbringing, and how she gained freedom. Assessing Wheatley's entire body of work, he discusses the likely role she played in the production, marketing, and distribution of her writing. She developed a remarkable network that transcended racial, class, political, religious, and geographical boundaries.Vincent Carretta is a professor of English at the University of Maryland. His most recent books are Equiano, the African: Biography of a Self-Made Man, winner of the Annibel Jenkins Prize, and The Life and Letters of Philip Quaque, the First African Anglican Missionary, coedited with Ty M. Reese. Recorded On: Sunday, February 26, 2012
