Description
The Willie Lynch Letter and the Making of a Slave A study of slave making, this book examines the Anglo Saxon ideas and methods used to create the master/slave relationship. It reveals how Southern plantation owners viewed slavery as a business, with enslaved people seen as mere pawns in an economic game. The international nature of the European economic, political and cultural climate is also explored, highlighting its influence on the slave trade over a relatively short period in African history. The book delves into the cultural history of the region, tracing connections between European traders and early Yoruba settlements in Africa.
