SLAVERY IN AFRICAN SOCIETIES
The new attack on African history manifests itself in blame reassignment and statistical downsizing. Blame reassignment refocuses on African and Arab slavery. The problem this posses is authentic study is often masked with political objectives; whether these objectives are Islamaphobia, Anti-African, European supremacy or African supremacy. The issue is the detraction from factual research that seeks to explore the full dynamic of slavery. But equally unacceptable is the denial syndrome some African reactionary academics have employed. Honesty cannot be a one-way mirror. African history needs to be studied both as an experiment in contemporary sociology and as a historical discourse as to study one is by default to study the other. this video is part of the bonus scenes from Owen 'Alik Shahadah award winning film 500 Years Later (www.500yearslater.com), produced by M.K.
