Book excerpt: The example of truth and falsehood is like the example of gold and gold plated. One appears to be like the other but under certain circumstances only one resists corrosion. Those who oppose the gods of the "accepted society" were considered barbarous. Such a thought only gives birth to tyrannical ideologies. After the four moon war, the Makeneans became the property of the Golden Race Army and all religious books were burnt. Freedom became a myth for all but a few. Rofurmer, the last rightful king, patiently waits for the bright star in the north to reach a spears height from the horizon. Clinging on to what may seem to be an illusion, he hopes that the army would honour their truce. Is he a fool to trust a race that has no moral compass? What would you say to a man who chooses falsehood over truth? - Or a man who would rather befriend an enemy than accept defeat? Nevertheless, drowning men always clutch on straws.

Download or read book Barbarian Cruelty written by Francis Brooks and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original eye-witness account of white slavery under the Muslims of North Africa. It is a simple fact of the anti-white establishment that the Trans-Atlantic slave trade is known to all, but knowledge of the Muslim slave-trade in Europeans is deliberately suppressed. Europeans are continually "blamed" for African slavery (even though only a tiny minority were ever involved in it, and it was Europeans who brought it to an end), but no-one ever dares "blame" the Muslim world for their slave trade in Africans and Europeans, which lasted for centuries longer than the Atlantic slave trade. It was during the 1600s that Barbary corsairs-pirates from the Barbary Coast of North Africa (today Algeria, Libya and Morocco)-were at their most active and terrible. With the full support of the Moorish rulers of North Africa, these Muslim slavers raided southern Europe, the Atlantic European coast, Britain and Ireland almost at will. There are, sadly, no complete records for how many Europeans were captured by the Muslim slavers, but most estimates-based on the size of the Moorish cities-indicate that by 1780, at least 1.2 million Europeans had been seized. Very few ever managed to escape, and most ended their days dying of starvation, disease, or maltreatment. A tiny number converted to Islam-a way of guaranteeing freedom, as only kuffars were enslaved-and an even smaller number escaped. This remarkable book, first published in 1693, contains one of the few genuine eye-witness accounts, written by a white slave who managed to escape. Its graphic description of the lot of white slaves, the Moorish relations with the Jews of North Africa, the conditions of the time and the author's eventual escape, cast a dramatic and nowadays, oft-hidden light upon the time when whites were enslaved.

Download or read book Slavery in the Roman Empire written by Barrow and published by . This book was released on 1998-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The spade-work of civilizing the world was done in the first two centuries of the Roman Empire, according to author R.H. Barrow, who goes on to remark that this labor-preparing the ground for Western civilization-is Rome's legacy to later generations. "What part did slavery play in this work?" asks the author of this intriguing book. "Was it so immoral, so degrading ... as to hamper the work of Romanization? Or was it even an instrument in that very process, which was being carried forward by many influences?" SLAVERY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE is Barrow's attempt to answer these provocative questions. This is a penetrating and vivid study that traces the process of enslavement to citizenship, and indicates along the way the issues involved for the individual and the Empire. One of the highlights of SLAVERY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE is its description of Roman daily life. Readers are provided with windows into the imperial houses, where slave duties were subdivided with an amazing minuteness; the Roman world of business, where some slaves, often more skilled and knowledgeable than their masters, became rich and took on the roles of agents and contractors; and the organization and administration of townships, which, due to Roman attitudes toward clerical work (that it was beneath a Roman citizen), put slaves in some important and responsible positions. Chapters on how slaves came to Rome, on their work, on their inner and private life, and on manumission and the perpetual struggle to rise from slavery to freedom climax in the chapter, "The mingling of nations." Here, Barrow combines the studies of the first seven chapters and views Roman slavery in the larger context and estimates its effects on the health of the Empire."--Jacket

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enormous numbers of slaves were absorbed into Roman society from the third century B.C. onwards. Mainly enslaved prisoners of war, they transformed the quality of life in the Roman Empire beyond recognition. In this anthology the author offers a complete collection of Greek and Latin sources in an English translation which deal with the great slave rebellions in the second and first centuries B.C. In a postscript Zvi Yavetz surveys the controversy on slaves and slavery from the French Revolution to our own days, with an emphasis on the debate between Marxists and non-Marxists. The book is intended for specialists and generalists alike, including those who have had no previous classical education, but could after delving in sources concern themselves with one of the most intriguing problems in world history. Zvi Yavetz holds the Lessing Chair of Roman History at Tel Aviv University, Israel, and is distinguished visiting professor at Queens College of the City University of New York. He is the author of many books in Hebrew, French and German on Roman history among which are Julius Caesar and His Public Image and Plebs and Princips.

Download or read book Greeks and Barbarians written by Kostas Vlassopoulos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an ambitious synthesis of the social, economic, political and cultural interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks in the Mediterranean world during the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods. Instead of traditional and static distinctions between Greeks and Others, Professor Vlassopoulos explores the diversity of interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks in four parallel but interconnected worlds: the world of networks, the world of apoikiai ('colonies'), the Panhellenic world and the world of empires. These diverse interactions set into motion processes of globalisation; but the emergence of a shared material and cultural koine across the Mediterranean was accompanied by the diverse ways in which Greek and non-Greek cultures adopted and adapted elements of this global koine. The book explores the paradoxical role of Greek culture in the processes of ancient globalisation, as well as the peculiar way in which Greek culture was shaped by its interaction with non-Greek cultures.

Download or read book Women and Slaves in Greco Roman Culture written by Sandra R. Joshel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and Slaves in Classical Culture examines how ancient societies were organized around slave-holding and the subordination of women to reveal how women and slaves interacted with one another in both the cultural representations and the social realities of the Greco-Roman world. The contributors explore a broad range of evidence including: * the mythical constructions of epic and drama * the love poems of Ovid * the Greek medical writers * Augustine's autobiography * a haunting account of an unnamed Roman slave * the archaeological remains of a slave mining camp near Athens. They argue that the distinctions between male and female and servile and free were inextricably connected. This erudite and well-documented book provokes questions about how we can hope to recapture the experience and subjectivity of ancient women and slaves and addresses the ways in which femaleness and servility interacted with other forms of difference, such as class, gender and status. Women and Slaves in Classical Culture offers a stimulating and frequently controversial insight into the complexities of gender and status in the Greco-Roman world.

This book was released on 2022-06-15T22:59:00Z with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The idea that any discussion of slavery should be linked to the transportation of black Africans to the New World would have struck most people as bizarre fifty years ago. The stories of slavery in the Old Testament have been omitted from modern books on the history of Britain. #2 The practice of slavery has been eroding away from the general public for years. Today, most people understand that a civilized society cannot tolerate murder, even that which is sanctioned and authorized by the state. They feel the same way about slavery. #3 Slavery has been an accepted and unremarkable institution for thousands of years. It has been widely practiced throughout the whole of human history, right up to the present day. The first reference to slavery dates back over 4,000 years. #4 The Bible contains a passage that seems to support slavery, as it states that the black people living in the hottest part of the world are destined to be servants and slaves. Judaism and Christianity did not view the institution of slavery as wicked or unjust, and there were no condemnations of it.

Download or read book British Slaves and Barbary Corsairs 1580 1750 written by Bernard Capp and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Slaves and Barbary Corsairs is the first comprehensive study of the thousands of Britons captured and enslaved in North Africa in the early modern period, an issue of intense contemporary concern but almost wholly overlooked in modern histories of Britain. The study charts the course of victims' lives from capture to eventual liberation, death in Barbary, or, for a lucky few, escape. After sketching the outlines of Barbary's government and society, and the world of the corsairs, it describes the trauma of the slave-market, the lives of galley-slaves and labourers, and the fate of female captives. Most captives clung on to their Christian faith, but a significant minority apostatized and accepted Islam. For them, and for Britons who joined the corsairs voluntarily, identity became fluid and multi-layered. Bernard Capp also explores in depth how ransoms were raised by private and public initiatives, and how redemptions were organised by merchants, consuls, and other intermediaries. With most families too poor to raise any ransom, the state came under intense pressure to intervene. From the mid-seventeenth century, the navy played a significant role in 'gunboat diplomacy' that eventually helped end the corsair threat. The Barbary corsairs posed a challenge to most European powers, and the study places the British story within the wider context of Mediterranean slavery, which saw Moors and Christians as both captors and captives.
