The Queen's Slave Trader

Meer over het boek

The book explores the often-overlooked role of Queen Elizabeth I in the origins of slavery in America, challenging the conventional narrative that primarily blames slave traders and owners. It argues that her influence and decisions contributed significantly to the establishment of slavery, positioning her as a pivotal yet unacknowledged figure in this dark chapter of history. By shifting the focus to Elizabeth I, the narrative invites readers to reconsider the complexities and responsibilities surrounding the institution of slavery.
