Over the years, global focus and discourse on slavery has concentrated on the Trans Atlantic trade that featured American and European merchants. The British, Portuguese, Dutch, French, Spaniards, and Danes of Denmark were involved in the oceanic trade in African men, women, and children which lasted from the mid sixteenth century until the eighteen sixties. At this time, more than fifteen million Africans were enslaved and transported to the Americas. Only ten to twelve million would make it through the sea to face a life of harsh labour, discrimination, and abuse.
While the Trans Atlantic slave trade is well known, taught in school, another form of slavery that was just as devastating, has been kept secret. This other trade remains largely ignored, and at times has even been treated as a taboo subject, despite being a key component of African history owing to the devastating impact it has had on the continent, its generations and its people’s way of life.
