Slavery - Lisa Kristine

"Lisa Kristine, in partnership with Free the Slaves, has produced a groundbreaking work of art: ‘Slavery’, a book of photographs depicting modern-day slavery in India, Nepal and Ghana."

“Slavery flourishes… Less human. The photos within this book make it impossible to fool ourselves. We are not so different."

And we are not so different either.
But we like it.

'Breaking the Chains - The Fight to End Slavery' exhibition

Bristol

'Slaves were packed into ships like cargo and exhibition visitors can get a taster of the feeling of darkness and claustrophobia.'

Getting a taste. Giving a taste. What more could we say?
This is our life, too. And we like it.

Slavery by Another Name

Douglas Blackmon's book, Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II argues that slavery persisted in different forms long after the ending slavery, 1862. Black men were arrested for petty or non-existent crimes and they were forced to work for white cotton farmers or coal mining companies. Douglas said that this was the new form of slavery.

We agree whit him. There is no difference at all between these two forms and we like them both in the same way, don't we boys? And now let's look and see why.

Douglas Blackmon könyve - Új rabszolgaság Amerikában a polgárháború és a második világháború között - azt állítja, hogy a rabszolgaság tovább élt Amerikában a rabszolgafelszabadítás után is, csak más formában. Jelentéktelen vagy el nem követett kihágásokért tartóztattak le feketéket és ítéltek kényszermunkára. Douglas szerint ez egy új formája volt a rabszolgaságnak.

Részünkről egyet is értünk az állításával, mert mi sem látunk sok különbséget a kettő között, s mindkettőt ugyanúgy kedveljük. Nemde, fiúk? Most pedig nézzük, miért is.
