Mentions across episodes
“The treatment of slaves in more recent times is just as nasty as that, if not worse. I mean, listen to what occurred regularly, according to the writer CLR. James, from official reports in the French Colonial Archives, to black slaves in Haiti but a century or two ago.”
Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: slavery and punishment
For: Historians and those interested in social justice
Key quote: “There was no ingenuity that fear or a depraved imagination could devise, which was not employed to break their spirit and satisfy the lusts and resentment of their owners and guardians.”
The host references CLR. James to highlight the brutal realities faced by slaves in both ancient Rome and more recent times, particularly in Haiti. This mention serves to draw parallels between historical and contemporary forms of oppression and inhumanity.
