Abstract

slavery, as it is known in the United States, differs vastly in comparison to the institution of slavery in west African countries. slavery in west africa was, however, affected and shaped by slavery in other parts of the world. The two articles that are discussed highlight slavery, slave trading, and the effects of both on life in west africa. In J.D. Fage's article titled "slavery and the Slave Trade in the Context of west African History," Fage explores how slavery in west africa was shaped by the Atlantic Slave Trade as well as how European slavery differed from slavery practiced in west africa. Fage emphasizes three perspective points of view held in regard to slavery and the Atlantic Slave Trade in west africa. The first view states that the custom of slavery was an innate and widespread establishment in west African communities, so much so that when foreigners came to west africa with a demand for slaves, the west African communities were immediately prepared for a highly organized trade with the foreigners.
