Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust: Slavery and the Rise of European Capitalism

Rating:
Summary: excellent researched and scholarly
Review: This book is definately a masterpiece. Dr. Clarke was truly a genuis, he goes through the slave trade and shows the roles of both various European world imperialist powers, and african empires that played a role in the slave trade. He uses referrences from portuguese and spanyard sources that shows the role of Christopher Colombus, and his crew men in the african holocaust as well as the holocaust against the indigenous people of america. He shows how the crusades played a crucial role in the second rise of europe and its exploitation of most of the world. This book is excellent, it is well researched and it answers questions to many unknown or know but unanswered questions. The personality of Christopher Colombus and europe's mentality towards the rest of the world has been exposed. I seriously recommend this book for all who are interested in the subject.
