The Chesapeake Slave Trade:Regional Patterns, African Origins, and Some Implications | History Cooperative
THE movement of peoples from the Old World to the New and the resulting transfers or transformations of homeland cultures in new physical and social environments has been a central theme of early American history. Overwhelmingly, historians have written on the transfers of peoples from sixteenth- through eighteenth-century Europe and sub-Saharan Africa to various American destinations in isolation from one another. When these two contemporary migration flows are considered together, sheer numbers demonstrate that, up to 1776, the majority of men, women, and children transported from the Old World to British North America were, to varying degrees, unfree. And increasingly throughout most of the eighteenth century, those migrants came from Africa and were permanently enslaved.
Na crise atual, Kwame Nkrumah voltou a ser leitura obrigatória
O líder afromarxista Kwame Nkrumah nasceu neste dia em 1909. Ele dissecou os meandros do avanço imperialista na África do século XX em sua tese contra o neocolonialismo.

The Ceuta Crisis Puzzle: A Moroccan Operation? - CSDS
The instrumentalisation of migration can be used to conduct hybrid warfare along all of the EU’s external borders, including the southern flank. Certain plausible hypotheses about the mass unauthorised crossings into Ceuta, Spanish territory in North Africa, suggest Moroccan involvement. The orchestration of illegal migration can have cascading negative effects by boosting the anti-migration discourse of far-right political forces in Europe.
I'll go on a little rant about this paper in @QJEHarvard if only for its treatment of the literature. As it's clearly not the first paper to analyze Black economic progress after slavery, we'll focus on the value-added over previous research. An important reference here is Sacerdote (ReStat 2005) "Slavery and the Intergenerational Transmission of Human Capital". by @AndreasShrugged(Andreas Backhaus) | Twitter Thread Reader
