prince among slaves

简介

In 1788 the slave ship Africa, set sail from West Africa and headed for America with its berth laden with a profitable but highly perishable cargo-hundreds of men, women and children bound in chains. Six months later the survivors were sold in Natchez, Mississippi. One of them, a 26-year-old man named Abdul-Rahman made a remarkable claim to the farmer who purchased him at the auction that he was an African prince and that his father would pay gold for his ransom. The offer was refused and Abdul-Rahman did not return to Africa for another 40 years. During his enslavement he toiled on the Foster plantation, married, and fathered nine children. His story also eventually made him the most famous African in America, attracting the support of powerful men such as President John Quincy Adams.

宽叔@@@2017-02-24@@@0@@@电影描述了奴隶交易中,奴隶的一个来源——非洲国家或部落交战中的俘虏。再现了美国黑人奴隶的生活,让我联想起Fogel教授的研究。於政治上,“Prince”涉入了小亚当斯政府与摩洛哥的外交和连任选举风波。而在宗教方面,穆斯林与基督教、共济会的接触也颇值得玩味。
