Many 19th and 20th century historians have argued that Northern slavery was mild and that master/slave relations were relatively harmonious. Yet, Northern slavery, like Southern, was characterized by the conflict between the masters' desire to control their slaves and the slaves' resistance to this domination. For a variety of political, social, and intellectual reasons, 19th and 20th century historians ignored this inherent conflict in discussions of Northern slavery. Fitts' research focuses on how and why historians sanitized the history of slavery in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and then shows the inadequacy of these interpretations by examining several of the planters' and slaves' conflicting strategies of control and resistance. Topics include how planters used physical punishment, legislation, and the threat of sale in an attempt to control their slaves, and how slaves resisted through violence, running away, and non-violent crime. Fitts also examines the plantation landscape as a site of symbolic contestation and includes a chapter on slave names. (Ph.D. dissertation, Brown University, 1995; revised with new preface)

This powerful book is about one of the most controversial realities in our modern world: the existence of slave labor in the 21st century, with millions of people today living in horrendous conditions of abuse and subjugation. It is the heroic story of missionary priest Fr. Christopher Hartley who, inspired by the Gospel, committed his life to fight for such workers in the sugar cane industry of the Dominican Republic so they could live and die with the human dignity that was denied them. When he arrived in 1997, Fr. Hartley carried out intense work of evangelization and, calling on the social doctrine of the Church, denounced the situation of slavery of his faithful: he proclaimed it in a speech before the President of the Republic and he confronted the proprietors of the sugar mills. Because of his strong criticism of such exploitation, he endured harsh treatment by the press and others, and was threatened with death. During his years of mission until he was expelled from the country in 2006, he wrote detailed letters to his friend about the horrible conditions he was fighting against for his people. In the letters, together with rich spiritual reflections and filled with apostolic passion, Fr. Hartley tells chilling stories of his people's suffering as well as striking expressions of love for God and faith in Providence by those who have nothing. These moving, insightful letters are the heart of this book, bolstered by the inspiring testimonies of those who lived and worked by his side in this great missionary epic. It reveals how terrible evil and suffering can be overcome by strong faith and deep love. "This is a book that exudes hope, which generates the happiness and joy of living, and sparks a lively desire to do the same: to evangelize. The testimony of this beloved missionary priest transmits joy and light, as he transmitted that same joy and hope to those long-suffering brothers and sisters in the Dominican Republic." - Cardinal Antonio Canizares, from the Foreword

Throughout the nineteenth century the idyllic island of Fernando de Noronha, which lies two hundred miles off Brazil's northeastern coast, was home to Brazil's largest forced labor penal colony. In Punishment in Paradise Peter M. Beattie uses Noronha as a case study to understand nineteenth-century Brazil's varied social and cultural values, especially in relation to justice, class, color, civil condition, human rights and labor. As Brazil’s slave population declined after 1850, the use of colonial-era disciplinary practices at Noronha—such as flogging and forced labor—stoked anxieties about human rights and Brazil’s international image. Beattie contends that the treatment of slaves, convicts, and other social categories subject to coercive labor extraction were interconnected and that reforms that benefitted one of these categories made them harder to deny to others. In detailing Noronha's history and the end of slavery as part of an international expansion of human rights, Beattie places Brazil firmly in the purview of Atlantic history.

Essay from the year 2022 in the subject African Studies - Literature, grade: 13, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Anglistik), course: An Introducton to African Diasporic Literature in English: Mobility, Migration, and Cultural Shifts, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the themes of patterns of travel and mobility, the role of religion and Islam and the role of narrator/family/slavery and his displacement. The author Abdulrazak Gurnah is a member of the Muslim-Arab minority in Zanzibar with Swahili as his mother tongue. He arrived in Great Britain as a refugee in 1968. The book "Paradise" got published in 1994 has 447 pages and is narrated from an authorial perspective. This novel unfolds the tale of Yusuf. Left by his father to settle debts, Yusuf becomes the ward of the Arab merchant Aziz. The narrative follows their trading expeditions, offering insights into the interior of Africa during the era of German colonialism in East Africa. Beyond the theme of travel, the novel delves into crucial subjects such as identity development, slavery, and the concept of "displacement." Each topic has been written in the form of an essay and works closely with the novel "Paradise". Excerpt from an essay that deals with the topic of "Patterns of Travel and Mobility in Paradise": This essay seeks to investigate the patterns of travel and mobility in Paradise by alluding to a number of examples from Paradise. It is absolutely crucial to address this topic since it is omnipresent in the novel. There are, in fact, a number of patterns of travel and mobility evident in the novel. Paradise is wrapped in several different narrative models that imply movement. For the most part, the trade and movement have a strong bond, as the merchants can move freely with their caravans and visit the most remote places in the interior. Furthermore, an internal journey, or rather a metaphorical travel, takes place, namely the personal journey of Yusuf. He grows up during his travels from a child to a man. Another pattern of travel and mobility is the condition of the diaspora because many people have been displaced. For example, there are Europeans, Arabs, or even Indians who came to Africa for specific reasons, such as economic or political reasons. In addition, many characters represent travelers, slaves, slave traders, explorers, or emigrants whose borders are constantly shifting or even disappearing. Besides, many of the characters are caught between clashing cultures and territories. Yusuf's identity is also altered when he is torn from his parents and home and made a slave.
