English Business of Slavery |
Introduction |
|
|
As a website book, The English Business of Slavery traces the rise of England's use of slavery as well as providing perspectives on England's intermittent interest in "The Great Southland"... |

In 2010, the author feels obliged to confess that when this website book was written, mostly in the 1990s, he had not yet read work by Theodore Allen. (See Theodore W. Allen, The Invention of the White Race, Vol. 1, Racial Oppression and Social Control. New York, Verso, 2002. Theodore W. Allen, The Invention of the White Race, Vol. 2, The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America. New York, Verso, 2002.) Allen's work has extensive material on the English presence in Ireland from somewhat after the time of William the Conqueror, and the co-incident oppression of the Irish people in terms of "racist" English attitudes, all of which deserves wider consideration in terms of the later development of the English use of the labour of enslaved Blacks from Africa. - Dan Byrnes
The history websites on this domain now have a companion website on a new domain, at Merchant Networks Project, produced by Dan Byrnes and Ken Cozens (of London).
This website (it is hoped) will become a major exercise in economic and maritime history, with some attention to Sydney, Australia.
