Slavery for Beginners

A new comic book in the best selling For Beginners series, Slavery for Beginners is a basic introduction to the horrors of all forms of slavery and slave trades, and to the struggles against them. Emphasizing particularly the enslavement of millions of African people, this book examines the daily experience of slavery and its social and cultural effects throughout the Americas and the Caribbean. It also answers fundamental questions, such as "What is the difference between slavery and indentured servitude?" and "What is the connection between racism and slavery?" A teacher and activist involved in the Black Liberation struggle for decades, the author was a founding member of the Black Panther Party.
