    Extractions: The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor and waiting for its cargo. These filled me with astonishment which was soon converted to terror when I was carried on board. I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were sound by some of the crew; and I was now persuaded that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits and that they were going to kill me. Their complexion too differing so much from ours, their long hair, and the language they spoke united to confirm me in this belief. Indeed such were the horrors of my views and fears at the moment, that, if ten thousand worlds had been my own, I would freely parted with them all to have exchanged my condition with that of the meanest slave in my own country. I asked them if we were not to be eaten by those white men with horrible looks, red faces and loose hair. They told me I was not. But still I feared I should be put to death, the white people looked and acted, as I thought, in so savage a manner; for I had never seen among any people such instances of brutal cruelty; and this not only shown towards us blacks, but also to some of the white themselves. One white man in particular I saw flogged so unmercifully with a large rope near the foremast, that he died in consequence of it; and they tossed him over the side as they would have done a brute.

    Extractions: PAGE D' ACCUEIL OLAUDAH EQUIANO "ILS EN EMPORTENT AUTANT QU’ ILS PEUVENT EN CAPTURER" Olaudah Equiano, un Ibo du Nigeria, avait juste onze ans quand il fut enlevé comme esclave. Il fut détenu en Afrique de l’ouest pendant sept mois et puis fut vendu à des négriers britanniques, qui le transportèrent à La Barbade puis en Virginie. Après avoir été au service d’un officier de marine britannique, il a été vendu à un négociant Quaker de Philadelphie qui lui permit d’acheter sa liberté en 1766. Plus tard, il joua un rôle important dans l’abolition de l’esclavage. "Mon père, en plus de posséder plusieurs esclaves, avait une famille nombreuse de sept enfants dont une sœur qui était la seule fille et soi-même. Comme j’étais le plus jeune des garçons, je fus le préféré bien sûr de ma mère et j’étais toujours avec elle; et elle se donnait du mal pour m’éduquer. J’ai été formé depuis mon plus jeune âge aux arts de l’agriculture et de la guerre. Et ma mère me décora avec des emblèmes comme on le fait avec nos plus grands guerriers. Je grandis ainsi jusqu’à l’âge de onze ans quand un évènement mit fin à ces jours heureux de la manière suivante: OLAUDAH EQUIANO ème Partie Extrait de "The interesting narrative of the life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavius Vassa the African" London, 1789.

    Extractions: Academic study of Olaudah Equiano has been energised in recent years by arguments asserting that some aspects of The Interesting Narrative (1789) may not represent Equiano's personal experience. In particular, the critics S.E. Ogude and Vincent Carretta have cast doubt over Equiano's account of his birth and upbringing in Africa, his kidnapping, and his experience of the Middle Passage. While Ogude's argument is based in textual analysis, Carretta's evidence emerges from archival work - yet both reach similar conclusions: that Equiano probably never visited Africa, and that the early parts of his Narrative are most likely rhetorical exercises, largely 'based on oral history and reading, rather than on personal experience'.

While I was in this plantation [in Virginia] the gentleman, to whom I suppose the estate belonged, being unwell, I was one day sent for to his dwelling house to fan him; when I came into the room where he was I was very much affrighted at some things I saw, and the more so as I had seen a black woman slave as I came through the house, who was cooking the dinner, and the poor creature was cruelly loaded with various kinds of iron machines; she had one particularly on her head, which locked her mouth so fast that she could scarcely speak; and could not eat nor drink. I was much astonished and shocked at this contrivance, which I afterwards learned was called the iron muzzle . . .

89. Slave Trade As Root To African Crisis

    Extractions: Slave trade: a root of contemporary African Crisis By Tunde Obadina "The past is what makes the present coherent," said Afro-American writer James Baldwin, and the past "will remain horrible for exactly as long as we refuse to assess it honestly." Why go back five centuries to start an explanation of Africa's crisis in the late 1990s? Must every story of Africa's political and economic under-development begin with the contact with Europe? The intention is not to produce another nationalist tract on how whites, driven by lust for material possession and armed with firearms, gin and a bag full of tricks, subjugated innocent Africans who were living blissfully close to nature. The reason for looking back is that the root of the crisis facing African societies is their failure to come to terms with the consequences of that contact. Portuguese seamen first landed in Africa in the fourth decade of the fifteenth century. From the outset they seized Africans and shipped them to Europe. In 1441 ten Africans were kidnapped from the Guinea coast and taken to Portugal as gifts to Prince Henry the Navigator. In subsequent expeditions to the West African coast, inhabitants were taken and shipped to Portugal to be sold as servants and objects of curiosity to households. In the Portuguese port of Lagos, where the first African slaves landed in 1442, the old slave market now serves as an art gallery. Portuguese adventurers who sailed southeast along the Gulf of Guinea in 1472 landed on the coast of what became Nigeria. Others followed. They found people of varying cultures. Some lived in towns ruled by kings with nobility and courtiers, very much like the medieval societies they left behind them. A Dutch visitor to Benin City wrote in around 1600: "As you enter it, the town appears very great. You go into a great broad street, not paved, which seems to be seven or eight times broader than the Warmoes Street in Amsterdam...The houses in this town stand in good order, one close and even with the other, as the houses in Holland stand..." More than a century earlier Benin exchanged ambassadors with Portugal. But not all African societies were as developed. Some enjoyed village existence in primeval forests remote from outside influences.

    Extractions: Timeline: from Olaudah Equiano to "Gustavus Vassa" and eventually to freedom... The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano , first published in 1798 in London, was (according to Henry Louis Gates, ed of the New American Library, 1987 edition) “the most widely read work by any black writer prior to the 19 th century.” Themes are journey, freedom, writing/reading, religious conversion, law, business, adventure, labor. The Life became, according to Gates, “the prototype of 19 th century slave narratives, using “written by himself” in the subtitle, and showing the signed portrait of the author on the title page. The journey described moves combines journey into freedom with journey from orality into literacy. The author recounts how he moved from African freedom, as an Igbo (Nigerian) prince, through European enslavement, to Anglican freedom. The adventures include the writer’s army service in Canada and the Mediterranean, his participation in the 1772-1773 Phipps expedition to the Arctic, six months among the Miskito natives of Central America, and a “Grand Tour” of the Mediterranean as a personal servant. Also described is the merchant-ship trade in the West Indies, Georgia, and Carolina.
