"Slavery and the Slave Trade in Africa" by Henry M. Stanley is a stark portrayal of the slave trade that ravaged the African continent. The book exposes the devastating impact of both the Atlantic and internal slave trades, detailing the disruption of African societies and the suffering forced upon the enslaved. It vividly recounts the horrific slave raids and the resulting militarization of tribes, driven by the demand for slaves. Stanley’s work also focuses on the part European nations played in both fueling and later attempting to suppress this cruel practice. The narrative not only highlights the moral failings behind slavery but also champions for the establishment of legal and ethical trade as a means of economic growth, envisioning a future where the slave economy can finally be abolished.
