The Truth About Cape Slavery: The Foundations of Colonial South Africa
Author: Patric Mellet
Format: Softcover
In The Truth About Cape Slavery, Patric Tariq Mellet argues that modern South Africa – its economy and politics – is shaped and established on the foundation of chattel slavery just like the United States of America. Cape slavery, rather than minor, was a crucial feature of maritime capitalism.
This then moved to become the cornerstone of the Cape’s agricultural economy.
